Russia's Skinheads: Exploring and Rethinking Subcultural Lives
provides a thorough examination of the phenomenon of skinheads,
explaining its nature and its significance, and assessing how far
Russian skinhead subculture is the 'lumpen' end of the extreme
nationalist ideological spectrum. There are large numbers of
skinheads in Russia, responsible for a significant number of
xenophobic attacks, including 97 deaths in 2008 alone, making this
book relevant to Russian specialists as well as to sociologists of
youth subculture. It provides a practical example of how to
investigate youth subculture in depth over an extended period - in
this case through empirical research following a specific group
over six years - and goes on to argue that Russian skinhead
subculture is not a direct import from the West, and that youth
cultural practices should not be reduced to expressions of consumer
choice. It presents an understanding of the Russian skinhead as a
product of individuals' whole, and evolving, lives, and thereby
compels sociologists to rethink how they conceive the nature of
subcultures.
