The Cambridge Companion to
Modern Russian Culture
Russia is a dominant force in the world, yet its culture has been
shaped by tensions involved in its unique position on the margins
of both East and West. As Russia faces the latest cultural challenge
from outside its national boundaries, this volume introduces
Russian culture in all its rich diversity, including the historical
conditions that helped shape it and the arts that express its
highest achievements. Newly commissioned essays by leading
scholars explore language, religion, geography, ideological
structures, folk ethos and popular culture, literature, music,
theatre, art, and film. A chronology and guides to further reading
are also provided. The
Companion
provides both historical
orientation for the central processes of Russian culture and
introductory surveys of the arts in their modern context. Overall,
the volume reveals, for students, scholars, and all those interested
in Russia, the dilemmas, strengths, and complexities of the
Russian cultural experience.
