This book explores the changing nature of growing-up
working-class in post-Soviet Russia, a country dislocated by the
experience of neo-liberal economic reform. Based on extensive
ethnographic research in a provincial Russian region, it follows
the experiences of vocational education graduates whose colleges
continue to channel them into the ailing industrial and
agricultural sectors. Rather than settling for transitions into a
~poor worka (TM), the book shows how these young men and women
develop a range of strategies aimed at overcoming the poverty of
opportunity available to them in traditional enterprises, pursuing
instead emerging opportunities in higher education, jobs in the new
service sector and the prospect of migration. Drawing on a range of
theoretical perspectives, Charles Walker analyses these strategies
and their significance for wider processes of social change and
social stratification in post-Soviet Russia.
