The history of Soviet underwear

February 21st, 2006 by andy

Some people choose to study the most curious things:

Olga Gurova studies the cultural history of underwear in the Soviet Union. “When I am talking about Soviet underwear,” she says, “I mean the underwear that appeared after the 1917 revolution.”

Presumably, pre-Soviet and post-Soviet underwear just wasn’t interesting enough.

    She’ll study post-Soviet underwear when she saves up enough money to buy a microscope.
