Synopsis

The Journal of Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society (JSPPS) is a biannual companion journal to the Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society (SPPS) book series (founded 2004 and edited by Andreas Umland). Like the book series, the journal provides an interdisciplinary forum for new original research on the Soviet and post-Soviet world. The first five issues to date have explored a diverse range of topics, including: Russian media coverage of the war in Ukraine; the experiences of Soviet Afghan war veterans in transnational perspective; discourses of memory and martyrdom in Eastern Europe; gender and anti-authoritarian protest in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine; violence in post-Soviet space; and agency in Belarusian history, politics, and society.

About this title

Review:

Praise for Sam Greene, Moscow in Movement (2014):

"Samuel Greene's monograph can be rightfully considered one of the major comprehensive studies of social movements, civic protest and the state-society relationship in contemporary Russia. It offers original theoretical insights and a rich empirical analysis of the intricate state-society relations in Putin's Russia, discussing the factors that lead to the mobilisation of civic activism in opposition to the dominant regime... Greene's book is an interesting and noteworthy contribution to the literature on Russian civil society. It demonstrates an original and convincing narrative and encourages further research on the topic. The book will be of interest to scholars and graduate students of contemporary Russian politics and society, comparative politics and sociology." --Yuliya Zabyelina, Europe-Asia Studies
