edited by Tomi Huttunen and Mikko Ylikangas
Witnessing Change in Contemporary Russia presents the results of a multidisciplinary scholarly programme called ‘Russia in Flux’, supported by the Academy of Finland. The volume offers invaluable information about such matters as air pollution in today’s Russia, as well as a survey of the economical, political, social, health care and cultural changes taking place.
The book represents and reflects the latest achievements of international Russian studies, based on the experts’ close observations of the radical changes taking place within Russia. Much of the research was conducted in Russia, and some in collaboration with Russian scholars, so the articles collectively represent a synthesis of inside, outside and comparative perspectives.
/“...important cutting-edge research on Russia by Finnish scholars, many working with Russian scholars, who are actively disseminating their results to various audiences.”/
– From the Evaluation Report of the Russia in Flux research programme.
