The work deals with Soviet candy wrappers – seemingly everyday objects that, once preserved, acquire symbolic meaning. The act of preservation sweetens and whitens memory: it presents the golden age of the communist past as romantic, innocent, and culturally nostalgic. However, behind this nostalgia lies the continuation of an ideological mechanism. These wrappers reproduce the image of the child, the peasant woman, and the social utopia – thus generating a communist romanticization that allows a renewed translation into fascist principles of power, order, and the restoration of national greatness.
