Show detail Hide detail

Documentary in the SUNDAY MORNING sub-series called CENTREPOINT, about young people in the Soviet Union, in their twenties and thirties, who are called a lost generation because they came of age when the Communist hardliners lost power and Glasnost came along. Many do not believe in anything and do not feel hope because the Communist way of life they were born into is now denounced and ridiculed. A number of them are giving up their professions, such as doctors and teachers. One problem is that the professions are lowly paid and some feel this is a sign of protest. Other subjects discussed include: this generation’s view that no political party will be able to help them and that they will have to fend for themselves; concern that people will be so disappointed that there could be a coup; a lack of interest in political parties; disillusionment with politics; There is actuality of musicians, adults learning English in a classroom and a protest demonstration. Interviewees include: musicians such as Sasha Scliar, who quit his prestigious job as a diplomat and performs in a band called Va Bank; students; Artyom Troitsky, the director of music for Russian Radio and Television and German Sterligov, one of the new Russian millionaires who is known as a “ruble millionaire”. <52mn 33s>
