Classes of nations: feminist criticism of nationality

The central topics of the collection “Classes of Nations” are new classes, nations and tender and their complex intersections in the post -Soviet region. The author considers how the interaction of these main categories of the organization of society is manifested in the “case” of the Pussy Rait group, in discussions around the history of Svetlana Bakhmina, in the “moral revolution”, recorded in the books of Svetlana Aleksievich, in clashes about “scientific truth” in the post -Soviet Academy and In the situation of the wives of Russian programmers in America. The collection builds a multifaceted social panorama of post -socialism.
