This book examines a number of key questions about social change in
contemporary Russia - issues such as how people survive when they
are not paid for months on end, 'the New Poor', the falling birth
rate, why so many Russian men die in middle age, whether regional
identities are becoming stronger, and how people's sense of
'Russianness' has developed since the creation of the Russian
Federation in 1992. It examines these issues by looking at actual
experiences in three small Russian towns. It includes a great deal
of original ethnographic research, and, by looking at real places
overall, provides a good sense of how different aspects of social
change are interlinked, and how they actually affect real people's
lives.
