Why do Russians act the way they do? This basic question ultimately underlies every attempt to understand Russia and to place its past and present in broader context. The Human Tradition in Modern Russia examines the grassroots dimension of social continuity and change in Russia since 1861, and it reintegrates into the historical record individuals and groups usually under-represented in the study of Russia.

Readers will learn about Russian society from the late nineteenth century to the present in essays on such diverse topics as divorce, sex education, drinking behavior, alternative youth culture, scientific study circles, the promotion of Soviet atheism and the cultural revolution, Nikolai Ezhov and Stalin's secret police, and the transformation of Russians' personal lives after the fall of the Soviet Regime. The Human Tradition in Modern Russia is ideal for all those interested in Russian history and civilization, modern European history, and world history.
By integrating the human dimension into Russian history, The Human Tradition in Modern Russia introduces Russian social history to readers in a provocative and interesting new way. The essays in this unique collection are based largely on previously classified Russian archival information available only since 1991. This is a study of Russian history since 1861 from the perspective of individuals and groups usually underrepresented in scholarly studies, giving the reader a thorough view of Modern Russia from the 'grassroots' level. The Human Tradition in Modern Russia is ideal for courses on Russian history and civilization, modern European history, and world history.
