520 |a This book offers a brief introduction to the anthropological study of Russia and aims to provide its readers with the analytical tools needed to understand the cultural and social configurations of the contemporary Russian Federation. By providing unique insights into a number of cultural configurations, including socialism, violence, mythology, colonialism, nationalism, gender, memory, democracy, media and art, readers will gain academic purchase on the concepts and imaginations that produce Russia's cultural meanings and significance. Using case studies and ethnographic 'snapshots' to ground the discussion, the book provides a strong foundation for deeper analysis through full length ethnography or other scholarly collections.
