Abstract: This article traces changes in household food consumption patterns comparing the late Soviet period and the present day based on household interviews and interpretive analysis. We reconstruct and visualize four foodscapes from households of varying socioeconomic contexts, based on their memories of food consumption prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union and their lived experiences of food consumption today. These vignettes are a basis to discuss changes in food consumption patterns in the broader context of transition. This study aims to contribute to a greater understanding of the evolution of food consumption from the perspective of the everyday consumer.
