I really enjoyed returning to the Actually Existing Socialism podcast to discuss my PhD research on masculinity and coal mining. Toni is an excellent interviewer.
You can listen to the episode here.
Among other topics, we discuss the Kosmos campground in Bulgaria which was formerly a resort for Czechoslovak coal miners. The photos below show mining families at Kosmos in the 1970s. These photos come from box 617 in the collection “Federální ministerstvo paliv a energetiky” in the National Archives of the Czech Republic.
