Sinopsis

Now expanded to cover the consequences of Russia?s 1998 financial collapse, this book focuses on the social consequences of a modern-day great depression. The text examines the unequal distribution of the costs and benefits of Russia?s leap into capitalism. The topics covered include: the emergence of the 'new poor', the recruitment of a business elite, the changing social and economic status of women, and the impact of marketization on employment. The study draws on a range of statistics and survey research data to present a portrait of the lives and circumstances of comtemporary Russians.
