The primary objective of this chapter is to examine the recollections and public narratives of elderly citizens in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan regarding their understandings, perceptions and everyday experiences during and related to the perestroika years. In so doing, this chapter aims to address the legacy of Soviet perestroika in the CA republics during the post-independence period. This chapter also seeks to tease out the nuances in the polarized official memory discourses of the Soviet past, which has been portrayed on a binary scale of either open criticism or patronizing approval of perestroika. In addition, this chapter aims to reveal the interconnectedness of memory, cognition and historical construction in seeking to demonstrate how they shape respondents’ individual selves.
