Drawing on fieldwork conducted in Moscow and St. Petersburg among
the political opposition's youth group Oborona (Defence), this
ground-breaking work brings forward a multifaceted and colourful
image of the life of political opposition activists in a restricted
political environment. Existing studies on youth political activism
in Russia have mainly dealt with the pro-Kremlin youth movements,
such as Nashi, while youth opposition activism has been studied
very little. Lyytikainen contributes to this gap by showing how
youth are also actively organizing against the current government
and how Russian oppositional youth activist practices are diverse
and constantly evolving. Theoretically this book contributes to
discussions on activist identities, as well as to an understanding
of social movements and protest by analysing political protests as
social performances. The research illustrates how Soviet
continuities and liberal ideas are entangled in Russian political
activism to create new post-socialist political identities and
practices. It also questions the idea of Russian democratization
being tied to its totalitarian past, and that of western-type
liberal democracy being the goal of this process. Instead, the book
proposes that Russian political culture should be analysed on its
own, and as an entanglement of various interacting systems of
thought.
