RETHINKING CLASS IN RUSSIA

Tackling one of the most difficult questions in contemporary Russian Studies, this collection asks: What is the meaning of class in post-socialist society? Drawing on extensive empirical research, individual contributors generate a rich and diverse picture of the lived experience of class in contemporary Russia. The volume is an excellent contribution to our understanding of why and how class still matters.
