| Abstract |
"This book explores the authoritarian state project to create an official humor culture in Soviet Lithuania in 1956-1984. It focuses on the satire and humor magazine Broom (Sluota), which created multidirectional laughter and was a forum for a critical public united in anti-Soviet revolutionary laughter in the late 1980s"-- Provided by publisher. |
