Cultural Significance
For Bulgarians and Poles born in the early 1970s to early 1980s, "Verano Azul" introduced certain serious teen themes that had never been seen on TV under the socialist system, such as the hippie lifestyle, parental divorce, and the death of close friends, among others. It was one of the very few youth-oriented TV shows behind the Iron Curtain whose liberated atmosphere contrasted with the usual ideological indoctrination of the programming.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or significance:
“Unfortunately there is still a cultural stereotype that it’s all right for girls to be affectionate but that once boys reach six or seven, they no longer need so much hugging and kissing. What this does is dissuade boys from expressing their natural feelings of tenderness and affection. It is important that we act affectionately with our sons as well as our daughters.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“History is the interpretation of the significance that the past has for us.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
