Social differentiation, poverty and the emergence of the newly rich
occasioned by the collapse of the Soviet Union have seldom been
analysed from a class perspective. Rethinking Class in Russia
addresses this absence by exploring the manner in which class
positions are constructed and negotiated in the new Russia.
Bringing an ethnographic and cultural studies approach to the
topic, this book demonstrates that class is a central axis along
which power and inequality are organized in Russia, revealing how
symbolic, cultural and emotional dimensions are deeply intertwined
with economic and material inequalities. Thematically arranged and
presenting the latest empirical research, this interdisciplinary
volume brings together work from both Western and Russian scholars
on a range of spheres and practices, including popular culture,
politics, social policy, consumption, education, work, family and
everyday life. By engaging with discussions in new class analysis
and by highlighting how the logic of global neoliberal capitalism
is appropriated and negotiated vis-A -vis the Soviet hierarchies of
value and worth, this book offers a multifaceted and carefully
contextualized picture of class relations and identities in
contemporary Russia and makes a contribution to the theorisation of
class and inequality in a post-Cold War era. As such it will appeal
to those with interests in sociology, anthropology, geography,
political science, gender studies, Russian and Eastern European
studies, and media and cultural studies.
