About this ebook:
Neuvostoliitossa suomalaisturisti saattoi lyödä rahoiksi länsimaisilla vaatteilla ja tavaroilla, joita paikalliset trokarit ostivat ja myivät eteenpäin. Kun ruplilla sitten sai mielin määrin vodkaa, samppanjaa ja kaviaaria, Leningradin-reissuista tuli monille kuin huumetta. Markat, farkut ja sukkahousut vie lukijan railakkaalle matkalle 1950–1980-lukujen neuvostoarkeen ja samalla suomalaisen turismin lähihistoriaan. Teos kertoo, miten laiton länsitavaran kauppa toimi Neuvostoliitossa ja millaiset taustatekijät edistivät sen syntyä. Mitä merkitystä länsimuodilla oli neuvostoliittolaisten, etenkin nuorten, arjessa? Keitä olivat bisnestä pyörittäneet trokarit ja tavaraa rajan yli vieneet suomalaiset? Millaiset jäljet trokaus jätti yhteiskuntaan? Kirjaa varten on haastateltu niin suomalaisia kuin venäläisiäkin, joilla on omakohtaisia kokemuksia neuvostovuosilta. Kerrontaa värittävät myös tekijän omat muistot. Yury Shikalov, FT, on Karjalan historiaan erikoistunut tutkija ja Suomen historian dosentti Itä-Suomen yliopistossa.

Honestly one of the most premium reading experiences lately. The pacing was impeccable and the characters felt incredibly authentic. I was completely immersed. I will undoubtedly revisit this masterpiece.
