Not Quite “Russian Diaspora”
This article examines the post–February 2022 wave of Russian migration to Armenia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Serbia, and Turkey—countries that became primary destinations due to their visa-free regimes, geographic proximity, and relatively low institutional barriers to entry. Drawing on 74 semistructured interviews conducted in 2023 with Russian migrants and using the framework of transnational mixed embeddedness, authors analyze how fragmented forms o…
Learning, Performance, Fatigue and Regret
The essay examines changes in the conceptualisation and practice of motherhood in Russia from the 1990s up to the 2020s. From the 1990s, a mother’s obligations towards a child rose sharply in comparison to the Soviet era. Motherhood has become individualised and isolating, while expectations of maternal work have intensified. In the relatively affluent 2000s, a Western model of ‘intensive mothering’ became popular among women who could afford not…
Anatomy of a Stalled Revolution
Russia's gender revolution notoriously produced women's economic empowerment without domestic equality. Although the Soviet state vastly expanded women's employment, this had little impact on a starkly unequal gender division of domestic labor. Such 'stalling' is common, but in Russia its extent and persistence presents a puzzle, requiring us to investigate linkages between macro-level factors and micro-level interactions regarding the gender div…
Strategies of non-normative families, parenting and reproduction in neo-traditional Russia
How are non-conventional sexualities, family formations, parenting practices and reproductive choices and strategies localised within the context of contemporary Russian society, which recently shifted to a neo-traditionalist ideology? This roundtable discussion describes how, despite the Russian state’s orientation towards a neo-conservative ideology and promotion of the ‘traditional’ family, Russians challenge official norms in various ways
Trust, responsibility, and freedom
While some studies directly address the issue of changes in union formation in Russia and Eastern Europe, few have focused on attitudes and norms regarding marriage and cohabitation. In Russia cohabitation has risen sharply in the last decades, but recentl
“Behind Every Great Man…”
Studies across diverse national contexts reliably show that married men earn more than unmarried men, but the mechanisms responsible for this are still disputed. This article explores the male marriage wage premium from a new perspective, using longitudinal qualitative data from Russia ( N = 94). Qualitative research is particularly suited to identifying underlying processes and, by analyzing men's accounts of the influence of their marital traje…
Towards a new understanding of cohabitation
Across the industrialized world, more couples are living together without marrying. Although researchers have compared cohabitation cross-nationally using quantitative data, few have compared union formation using qualitative data
