In this episode, we speak with Eliot Borenstein, author of the new book Unstuck in Time: On the Post-Soviet Uncanny.

Eliot Borenstein is Professor of Russian and Slavic Studies and Vice Chancellor for Global Programs at New York University. His other books include Soviet Self-Hatred, Plots against Russia, Overkill, and Marvel Comics in the 1970s.

We spoke to Eliot about how, decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many Russians today still look back to that time as a golden age; how this nostalgia for the past manifests in popular culture through films, fiction, and television series featuring time travel and alternate history; and, how even some Russians refuse to acknowledge their current government and instead insist that the USSR still exists.
