The Cambridge Companion to Modern Russian Culture

Nicholas Rzhevsky has edited a worthy guide to modern Russian culture with eleven articles written by highly qualified scholars in their fields of expertise. The Cambridge Companion to Modern Russian Culture continues the tradition of Cambridge's Companions to Culture series to introduce a topic broadly to students, while still providing an interesting perspective to scholars. This second edition provides some necessary updates since the first edition's publication date of 1998 (RR 1999/248). The contributors are each listed at the beginning of the volume along with a paragraph outlining their experience and scholarly accomplishments.
