Abstract

Nostalgia is the longing for those times, romanticizing the memories and elements of the past. For nostalgia to develop, however, there must be a contrast between the past and the present over a period of time. The article examines the possible contradictions between modern Azerbaijan and the Soviet era, the possible reasons for nostalgia. Among these reasons, the importance of socio-economic factors is emphasized.
