Just like it was taken for granted that properties could be discontinued and gradually decay, so it was taken for granted that people perished in prisons, and that it was possible that no one would really ever before know the cause of death. This is actually the nature of totalitarianism. In 1993-94 Sigrid Rausing completed her anthropological fieldwork on the peninsula of Noarootsi, a ex - Soviet border cover area in Estonia. Forgotten watchtowers dotted the coastline, and the huge fields of the Lenin collective farm were lying fallow, looking forward to claims from ex - owners, fleeing battle and Soviet and Nazi profession. Rausing's interactions with the local people touched on many themes: the financial privations of post-Soviet presence, the bewildering influx of western products, and the Swedish backdrop of many of them. In Everything Is Wonderful Rausing demonstrates on history, political repression, and the story of the minority Swedes in the region. She resided and worked among the villagers, witnessing their changeover from repression to independence, and from Soviet don't post-Soviet austerity.
