Petty trade helped vast numbers of people to survive the crisis
faced by post-Soviet Russia. The book analyses how this survival
technique was carried out in practice. On the basis of his
fieldwork research, the author shows how people coped with rapid
social change and places their activities within a context of
government policies, migration flows and entrepreneurial
strategies. "This is an original work based on extensive fieldwork
research. Wielecki skillfully intertwined "ethnographic meat" with
"the bones of theory", which has resulted in a "flesh-and-blood"
anthropology." Michal Buchowski "This is an immensely insightful
exploration of petty trade in post-Soviet Russia. The author laces
his genuine ethnographic work in a coherent account of the concepts
of uncertainty, embeddedness, and informal economy." Violetta
