Me I was raised in the former German town called Memel, now Lithuania. It's a port town and so we had access to Western shmata and the atmosphere was pretty lax. We also had much more food, meat and stuff than Soviet Russia.

Jeans were never actually "banned", it's just that they were barely present in legal market. But in the 70's ugly Soviet-made and European (mostly Italian) jeans appearead in the stores. However, jeans from American brands like Lee, Levis or Wrangler were still a luxury and were only sold on the black market.

I also just remembered the Neue Slowenische Kunst movement, which (as I understand it) was some sort of "ironically" fashy Slovene art collective? Technically not Soviet thanks to old Tito but still behind the iron curtain. They seem to have had really excellent fits.

Yuri Knorozov, the brilliant Russian ethnographer and linguist who almost singlehandedly discovered how to decipher ancient Mayan script, seems extremely fashionable to me. Or at least he was an extremely charismatic loner genius who was evil as fuck looking. Even his damn cat is effay.

I was in a used bookstore and I came across this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Maya-Code-Third-Michael/dp/0500289557

And to be honest, the only reason I bought the book and read it was because when I flipped through the pages I saw that photo of him holding his dearly beloved cat. It's a good book, but it focuses on the deciphering of Mayan hieroglyphs, and not entirely on Knorosov himself. Plus, he lived in Leninist Russia, so all the Cold War paranoia and propagandha shit made a lot of the details about his life kind of unsure. But he always looked like that though, even when he was little kid believe it or not. He was in WWII, but there was a bunch of debate about what he did and what kind of horrible shit he saw, and then later when the Russian government finally let him go to Guatemala and Mexico to study this stuff up close, there were these Nazi-esque death squads that tried killing him because they harbored intense hatred of Mayan culture, and he was viewed as someone who was championing them on the world stage. So he had to hide out in Latin America from these people, and conduct his work that way. There are photos of him all maimed and fucked-up looking with kind of a bandage over one eye, not really an eye-patch, but kind of suggestive of that. But he wasn't permanently disfigured, because there are photos of him as a really old dude, and he looked great. Same as in that picture basically. It's known that he was kind of wild and hyper-intelligent as a youth, and into poetry and stuff like that. I don't know, I think someone made a documentary about either about him, or probably just about the Mayan civilization itself and Knorozov's kind of Rosetta Stone translation type activies. I don't know if it's any good or not.
