The aim of the article is to introduce the New Year greeting discourse and the range of its meaning as it is presented on the recto side of official Soviet Lithuanian New Year greeting cards. Even though the New Year used to be celebrated in the preSoviet era, it was adapted to meet the needs of Soviet ideology during the Soviet occupation of Lithuania. Greeting cards, among other media, were used to achieve the aim as they played a significant role in (re)creating the visual representation of the holiday. The analysis of greeting cards issued by official Soviet publishing houses revealed that in some cases the New Year greeting discourse was based on the public space of Vilnius. Further analysis of these cards allowed concluding that even though the New Year discourse was highly ideologised (e. g., the flag of the Lithuanian SSR was used to mark Vilnius as a Soviet city), it was not straightforward. On the contra ry, the visual representation of the New Year holiday was often playful, sometimes merged with the rhetoric meaning of the image. In addition, in some cases the spec ificity of the visual expression was favourable for the manifestation of Aesopian language. The latter conclusion is based on the analysis of the recto side of these cards, but the meaning conveyed to the greeting cards by the actual participants of the greeting ritual could be (partly) revealed by the means of ethnographic fieldwork.

Architectural Transcendence in Soviet-Era Housing: Evidence from Socialist Residential Districts in Tallinn, Estonia

In Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union, housing estates are often associated with inhumane architecture, unwelcoming public space and unending repetition, outcomes that have been attributed to strict design requirements in a rigid centralised system. Due to the uniformity and standardisation of residential housing produced during socialist times, both the design process and its master-the architect-are believed to have played only minor roles in shaping townscapes. This study, situated in the large housing estates of Tallinn, Estonia, challenges these assumptions using analyses of archival material. The study also explains-through first-hand interviews with senior architects who were key players in building socialist cities-the relations between strict Soviet regulations and vital elements of the city building process, including creativity, power and artistry. Analysis of primary source materials highlights an oversimplification of socialist modernism, which suggests more nuanced explanations for town planning outcomes that differ from what strict adherence to Soviet guidelines would have produced. Findings also suggest that regulations issued in Moscow for USSR-wide site planning played a less important role than previously assumed in town planning outcomes in Estonia. International modernist city planning ideals, combined with local expertise (and a willingness to push boundaries yet remain within the political system), strongly influenced town planning practice in the Soviet 'West'.
