Urban and socio-cultural aspects of the collective garden phenomenon. The case of Soviet Lithuania /

This dissertation aims to extend the research on the urban, architectural and artistic environment and everyday life of the Soviet era by focusing on collective gardens as a little-studied aspect of Lithuanian urban space and culture. The thesis hypothesises that the mass spread of collective gardening in Lithuania formed a phenomenon similar to the so-called "kitchen culture" of the Soviet era - collective gardens were a space of specific cultural and social practices that transcended the boundaries of official ideology. The aim of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of collective gardens in Lithuania, the preconditions for its emergence and its development from 1944 to the restoration of independence in 1990-1991.
