Soviet

This category encompasses aesthetics that emerged, developed, or were significantly influenced during the period of the Soviet Union's existence (1922-1991). This includes artistic movements, architectural styles, and cultural trends that transcended the individual Soviet republics and contributed to a shared Soviet cultural identity. Due to the complex nature of Soviet history and the subsequent formation of independent nations, there may be overlap with aesthetics specific to modern-day nations. This category is included solely for the purpose of more accurate categorization and to avoid misrepresenting aesthetics that are best understood within the broader context of the Soviet era (e.g., it is more culturally sensitive to attribute Socialist Realism to the Soviet Union than modern-day Russia). It is recommended to cross-reference or include notes regarding the specific modern-day nations where these aesthetics were particularly prominent.
