Project Description

Urban activism is a dynamic component of civil society in the Russian Federation.  Unlike in the West, scholars argue that some aspects of civil society under Russia’s managed democracy is closely aligned with state agendas even when actors mobilise against the policies of the regime. The goal of the project is an edited volume based on the contributions of a cross-national research community including many young scholars from Russia.
