TRAUMAZONE. Adam Curtis’ astonishing new documentary about the fall of the USSR is perfect supplemental viewing to our current FW22 Issue (preord3r n0w). In Curtis’ new seven hour documentary, we watch in the slow burn of the dissolution of an entire society and belief system, from the strange dream of communism to the kleptocracy of the late 80s to 90s. The mafia has looted every last resource and have become oligarchs. The people are starving. And the empire, including Ukraine demands independence. Watch it now on BBC iPlayer or a pirate copy can usually be found in full on YouTube. #adamcurtis #ussr #russia #history #putin #kleptocracy #ukraine
