The jazz-loving “tombak youth” in this modern-day country were seen as precursors to a subculture named after an atoll, the “bikini boys.” The term “banana youth” was used in this country to criticize participants in a series of March 1968 protests. (-5[1])The government (-5[1])of this modern-day (-5[1])country (-5[1])was criticized by graffiti of dwarves painted by the (10[1])Orange (10[1])Alternative (10[2])collective. (10[1])Posters depicting Gary Cooper (10[1])holding a ballot were used in this country (10[1])during an (-5[1])election whose eventual winners implemented “shock therapy.” (-5[3])The firing of a crane operator triggered a strike (10[1])in this country (10[2])led by a union (10[1])founded (10[2])at the Lenin Shipyard.
