Joakim Ekman, National Identity in Divided and Unified Germany: Continuity and Change (Örebro: Örebro Studies in Political Science 3, 2001). One aspect of nostalgia that we have failed to discuss in this article, related to the personal biography dimension (see Figure 1), concerns nostalgia as consumption. There are plenty of examples from all over Europe of this phenomenon. Young people are drawn to communist memorabilia by the kitsch factor of the communist aesthetic: Lenin T-shirts, Pioneer shirts, badges, brands (like the Ostalgie products in the former GDR), CDs with official communist sing-along songs, and so forth. Such an interest in communist products may be seen as ironic mockery as well as a post-modern search for identity. At the more extreme end of the spectrum we find communist theme parks, such as businessman Blasko Gabric's 'Yugoland', located in Subotica, a small northern Serbian village, or the memorial site in Grutas Park, southern Lithuania (unofficially named 'Stalinworld'), where some 75 statues of Lenin, Stalin, Marx and Engels have been preserved. The construction of a similar theme park in Berlin has been seriously discussed as well. Such cultural-commercial expressions are of course interesting, but not really important when analysing the prospects for democratic consolidation.

Similar accounts of the difficulties involved in the transformation process, and retrospective revaluations of life under communism, can be found in the rich flora of personal recollections of life in the GDR. In the wake of the German unification, the field of Alltagsgeschichte has emerged as an interesting branch of GDR history. In the 1990s and early 2000s, a large number of books have been written, describing various aspects of everyday life in the GDR. Such 'oral history' studies or 'life stories' make up a vast body of documents, and should be regarded as rather important for our understanding 'communist nostalgia' and post-communist public opinion. A recent study that touches upon such issues from a sociological point of view is (eds.), (New York: Peter Lang)
