Routledge - Performing Political Opposition in Russia Book

Explore the inner workings of Russian youth activism with this scholarly study from Routledge. Based on extensive fieldwork in Moscow and St. Petersburg, this book examines the political opposition group Oborona (Defence). While most research focuses on pro-Kremlin movements like Nashi, this work fills a significant gap in academic literature by focusing on the youth who organize against the current government. This part of The Mobilization Series on Social Movements, Protest, and Culture provides a multifaceted view of activists living and working within a restricted political environment. It offers a detailed look at how young people navigate political resistance and organize social movements in Russia. This text is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in anthropology, sociology, and the dynamics of political protest.
