Table of ContentsReviewsThis long-needed volume sets out an ambitious goal for itself-- to capture the multiple voices and meanings that have emerged in the last several decades of cultural change in Russia --and fulfills it in innovative ways. Its combination of primary and secondary sources, its editors' skilled selection of authors and texts, and its impressive topical and chronological scope should make this reader an indispensable resource for students, teachers, and scholars of contemporary Russian culture. --Seth Graham, University College London Author InformationMark Lipovetsky is Professor of Russian Studies in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures and joint faculty member at the Comparative Literature Program at the University of Boulder.
