- Summary:
- These are th times of Frusesn Glädjé, Cabbage Patch Kids, est, yuppies, Blockbuster Video and PTL. Not to mention glasnost and perestroika. The Soviet empire is near collapse, but no one knows it. Still fanatically dedicated to the Communist cause, KGB agengs pass for very typical Americans in Washington, DC, living the good life, raising their all-American kids, and routinely committing acts of espionage, adultery, blackmail, and murder. This work discusses the show, The Americans, and investigates its philosophical themes and motives.
