The history of Soviet underwear

by andy on “Tue 21, February 2006”

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. Still, brings new meaning to the term Control underwear, doesn’t it?

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