The Urban Life of Workers in Post-Soviet Russia: Engaging in Everyday Struggle

This book provides a novel approach towards the urban life of working-class communities, using the example of Russia’s post-industrial cities. Focusing on the sensual, imaginary and practical aspects of everyday struggles, this approach helps explain how workers produce micro-change in urban space under neoliberal neo-authoritarianism.
