Contemporary Russia is often viewed as a centralised regime based in Moscow, with dependent provinces, made subservient by Putin¿s policies limiting regional autonomy. This book, however, demonstrates that beyond this largely political view, by looking at Russiäs regions more in cultural and social terms, a quite different picture emerges, of a Russia rich in variety, with different regional identities, cultures, traditions and memories.
