Frontispiece: A Russian Beggar [Nishchii]. While the world outside of their native villages was a land of opportunity for Russian peasant youth, it was also the place to send old, sick, unproductive villagers without family who otherwise would become a burden on the commune. Lacking social insurance and unable to find work, these marginalized peasants normally made a living by begging alms, backmarket trade, or petty theft. Photograph by N. Svishchova-Paola. Late nineteenth century. Courtesy of the Russian State Archive of Kinofoto Documents in Krasnogorsk.

The concept of culture I espouse... is essentially a semiotic one. Believing, with Max Weber, that man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun, I take culture to be those webs, and the analysis of it to be therefore not an experimental science in search of law but an interpretive one in search of meaning. It is explication I am after, construing social expressions on their surface enigmatical. Clifford Geertz, "Thick Description: Toward an Interpretive Theory of Culture"
The irruption of modern capitalism into peasant society... has always had cataclysmic effects on that society. When it comes suddenly... its effect is all the more disturbing. Eric Hobsbawm, Primitive Rebels
