Cvajner’s Soviet Signoras is the result of more than a decade of ethnographic work among a community of middle-aged women from countries of the Former Soviet Union (FSU) who emigrated to a northern Italian town (referred to as “Alpinetown”) during the 1990s. These migrant women found work as caregivers for elderly middle- and working-class Italians. As a Croatian immigrant who had entered Italy with refugee status and studied Russian, Cvajner shared enough kinship with the “Soviet Signoras” to be accepted as a trusted member of their community.

书评：苏联的Signoras：东欧移民的个人和集体转变

克瓦纳（Cvajner）的《苏联标志》是1990年代前苏联国家（FSU）移居到意大利北部城镇（称为“ Alpinetown”）的中年妇女社区中超过十年的人种学研究的结果。 。这些移民妇女找到了中产阶级和意大利工人阶级的照料者。作为克罗地亚移民，他以难民身份进入意大利并学习俄语，克瓦涅（Cvajner）与“苏维埃签名派”分享了足够的亲戚关系，被接纳为其社区中值得信赖的成员。
