Like, repost, arrest: Folklore on trial in the Soviet era and today
Abstract
In 2014–2016, the State Procuracy conducted several trials of Russian citizens who spread visual political folklore on current topics through social networks. This paper reveals the logic behind these prosecutions and compares current cases with the Soviet system of repression from 1928 to 1985.
