| Title | Public and private in contemporary Russia: the case of garden cooperatives |
| Summary | Using the methods of the Goffmanian tradition, I explore the issue of public and private in contemporary garden cooperatives to answer the question how people perceive and use in their daily lives the new notions of public and private, which penetrated the sphere of legislation, politics and state ideology in Post-Socialist Russia. The results of my research allow me to describe the situation as a search for a new balance between individual privacy and collective solidarity in society; I also show the strong influence of the legacy of Soviet ideology and practices on this process. The thesis contributes to research on the public and private dichotomy in Soviet and Post-Soviet society. |
