Most recent research seeks to explain contemporary changes in
Russia by analysing the decisions of Russian leaders, oligarchs and
politicians based in Moscow. This book examines another Russia, one
of ordinary people changing their environment and taking
opportunities to provoke societal changes in small towns and the
countryside. Russia is a resource-rich society and the country's
strategy and institutional structure are built on the most valuable
of these resources: oil and gas. Analysing the implications of this
situation at the local level, this book offers chapters on resource
use, local authorities, enterprises, poverty and types of
individual, as well as a final chapter which places local societies
within the framework of the Russian politicised economy. Based on
extensive empirical data gathered through more than 400
semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs, teachers, social
workers and those working for the local authorities, this book
sheds light on the role of local activity in the development of
Russian society and is essential reading for students and scholars
interested in Russia and its politics.
