Stelio Fergola
"Insert Kopeyki" is an original and unique contribution: it is the first analysis in the Italian language on the role of video games in the communist world.
The extensive literature that addresses this subject primarily focuses on the Western and Far Eastern contexts, tracing the evolution of a market that, starting from the United States and Japan, continuously expanded its boundaries, forming interesting connections with music and cinema. However, what was happening beyond the "Iron Curtain" during the early days of arcades and consoles?
This pamphlet delves into the topic of electronic entertainment, examining it through the lens of history: from the delicate balances of the Cold War to the perpetual competition between East and West, passing through the global success of Tetris and the contradictions of planned economies. Whether it served as a tool for propaganda or a means of escape, video games left a profound mark on the last years of the Socialist Soviet Republics, offering an unprecedented journey into the culture and daily life of an unknown and impenetrable universe.
