摘要：The recent history of post-Soviet societies is often described with the useof the transition metaphor. The image of movement, changing the placeand situation, was foundational for the social imagination of new nations.This idea of looking for novelty and new beginnings legitimized thedissolution of the USSR and many state- and economy-related experiments.The period between 1990 and 1993 was indeed a revolution with strongcitizen/bourgeois, neoliberal/capitalist, and nationalist/collectivistintentions.
