More about the book
Focusing on social change in contemporary Russia, the book delves into critical issues such as economic survival amid delayed wages, the emergence of 'the New Poor,' declining birth rates, and the high mortality rates among middle-aged men. It also explores the strengthening of regional identities and the evolution of 'Russianness' since 1992. Through original ethnographic research in three small towns, it illustrates how these interconnected issues impact people's everyday lives, providing a nuanced understanding of the societal landscape.
