This book looks at Russian women's mobilization and agency during
the two periods of transformation, the turn of the 19th-20th
century and the 20th - 21st century. Bringing together the
parallels between the two great transformations, it focuses on both
the continuities and breaks and, importantly, it shows them from
the grassroots point of view, emphasizing the local factor.
Chapters show the international and transnational aspects of
Russian women's agency of different spheres and different
historical periods. The book goes on to raise new research
questions such as the evaluation and comparison of Soviet society
and contemporary Russia from the point of view of gender and
women's possibilities in society.

This book explores the activism and solidarity movements formed by
contemporary European citizens in opposition to populism, which has
risen significantly in reaction to globalization, European
integration and migration. It makes the counterforces to
neo-nationalisms visible and re-envisions key concepts such as
democracy/public sphere, power/empowerment, intersectionality and
conflict/cooperation in civil society. The book makes a theoretical
and empirical contribution to citizenship studies, covering several
forms such as contestatory, solidary, everyday and creative
citizenship. The chapters examine the diverse movements against
national populism, othering and exclusion in various parts of the
European Union, such as Denmark, Finland, the UK, Austria, Germany,
France, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Italy. The national case studies
focus on counterforces to ethnic and religious divisions, as well
as genders and sexualities, various expressions of anti-migration,
Romanophobia, Islamophobia and homophobia. The book's overall focus
on local, national and transnational forms of resistance is
premised on values of respect and tolerance of diversity in an
increasingly multi-cultural Europe.
