Hilary Pilkington explores how Russian youth culture has changed
since the introduction of "perestroika" and the collapse of
communism. Her groundbreaking work applies the methods of cultural
studies to the analysis of Russian youth. She deconstructs the
social discourses within which Russian youth has been constructed
and provides an alternative reading of youth cultural activity
based on an ethnographic study of Moscow youth culture at the end
of the 1980s. Pilkington also charts the development of western
youth cultural studies in the twentieth century and suggests some
ways forward in light of the Russian experience.
The first ethnographic study of Russian youth culture by a western
academic, the book traces the cultural themes of youth culture in
the Anglo-American tradition and within the former Soviet Union. It
examines the impact of "perestroika" on the Russian media and its
ramifications for the discussion of youth. The book includes
studies of young people and youth cultural groups in Moscow drawn
from extensive field work and interviews in the city.
