This edited volume sheds light on the lives of young people in various central and peripheral regions of Russia, including youth belonging to different ethnic and religious groups and who have differing views on contemporary politics. While the literature continues to grow regarding the inclusion of youth in global contexts, the specific cultural, political, and economic circumstances of being young in Russia make the Russian case unique. Chapter authors focus on four key aspects that characterize the youth experience in contemporary Russia: cultural practices and value affiliations, citizenship and patriotism, ethnic and religious diversity, and the labor market. This collection will appeal to readers interested in contemporary life in Russia and looking for the latest empirical material on youth identities and cultures, as well as those looking to learn about the critical viewpoint of local academics regarding the ongoing processes in contemporary Russian society. Elena Omelchenko is Director of the Centre for Youth Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg, Russia. She has authored and co-authored seventeen monographs on globalization of youth cultures, ethnic and religious identities of youth, drug (ab)use cultures, the body and sexuality, xenophobia and migrant youth. Currently, she is working on developing the concepts of solidarity and cultural youth scene for the study of cultural practices of Russian youth.
