Guest: Gabrielle Cornish on the sound of Lenin's voice and other sounds of socialism.

﻿<br />
What are the sounds of socialism? And does socialism sound different from capitalism? This question came up after reading the forum “<a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/slavic-review/issue/1D07C4EA7BD5F5E26412A3A4638FB014">Socialist Sound Worlds</a>” in the Winter 2023 Slavic Review. But whether socialism sounded different was hard to know from the forum. Though its articles dealt with sound, ironically, no sounds accompanied them. Listeners know that the Eurasian Knot has featured listener submitted sounds from the region on our episodes. And given our interest in sound, we figured to do a short interview series with the authors featured in the Slavic Review forum. In this episode, we talk to one of the forum’s editors, Gabrielle Cornish, about her article, “<a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/slavic-review/article/lenin-in-the-groove/3750A14FA915E960D9BDABD64E57C7D4">Lenin in the Groove</a>” and we listen to clips of Lenin’s voice, Soviet muzak, and a cosmonaut music box!<br />
