Despite decades of Putin, it is too simplistic to assert that
authoritarianism has eliminated Russian activism, especially in
relation to everyday life. Instead, we must build an awareness of
diverse efforts to mobilize citizens to better understand how
activism is shaped by and, in turn, shapes the regime. Â
Varieties of Russian Activism focuses on a broad range of
collective actions, from labor unions to housing renovation,
religion, electoral politics, minority language rights, and urban
planning. Contributors draw attention to significant forms of
grassroots politics that have not received sufficient attention in
scholarship, or that deserve fresh examination. The volume shows
that Russians find novel ways to redress everyday problems and
demand new services. Together, these essays interrogate what kinds
of practices can be defined as activism in a fast-changing,
politically volatile society. Â An engaging
collection, Varieties of Russian Activism unites leading
scholars in the common aim of approaching the embeddedness of civic
activism in the conditions of everyday life, connectedness, and
rising society-state expectations.
