"A Story of My Life with Aliosha Paustovsky" sociologically rewritten

"A Story of My Life with Aliosha Paustovsky" sociologically rewritten" (by Natalia Kozlova) offers a study of memoir text written by E. Moskovskaya. T opically and methodologically the article by N. Kozlova belongs to genre of '"consciousness archaeology", and shows some crucial moments in transformi ng consciousness of the former soviet nomenklatura members during the recen t 40 years. The analysis reveals that current reforms are in a way a logica l product of the preceding actual and symbolic struggles within what might be termed as varying elite groups. Change in the social ordering is treated as institutionalizing some of the factors in the above struggles.
