- Summary:
- In Estrada?!, the second volume of a three-part series on Russian popular song, David MacFadyen extends his overview of Russian culture and society into the post-Soviet period. Having dispelled several myths surrounding Soviet popular entertainment -- known as "estrada" or the "small stage" -- in Red Stars, MacFadyen shifts his attention to a newer musical tradition that has emerged from the simultaneous disappearance of Soviet ideology and the loud influx of western music.
- The author shows how performance, popularity, and politics have all changed rapidly in Russia following the fall of communism.
