Silences and Omissions in Reporting Epidemics in Russian and Soviet Prisons, 1890-2021
Penitentiary systems serve as breeding grounds for all kinds of diseases. Drawing upon new archival materials, this article examines the history of the management and reporting of epidemics in the Russian prison system from the late Imperial period to the present day. We use the case studies of cholera (1892-1893), typhus (1932-1933), and pulmonary tuberculosis (the 1990s) to examine how the general political and social conjuncture at different t…
Debating academic boycotts and cooperation in the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine
This forum is a contribution to debates over the (im)possibility of cooperating with the Russian academic community while Russia’s war against Ukraine continues. After briefly reviewing previous studies on the effectiveness and morality of academic sanctions, the forum continues to assess the politics and effectiveness of the academic boycott in changing the belligerent behaviour of the Russian regime. For this purpose, it introduces the idea of …

Waiting At The Prison Gate: Women, Identity and the Russian Penal System
The Russian Federation has one of the largest prison populations in the world. Women in particular are profoundly affected by the imprisonment of a family member. Families and Punishment in Russia details the experiences of these women-be they wives, mothers, girlfriends, daughters-who, as relatives of Russia's three-quarters of a million prisoners, are the "invisible victims" of the country's harsh penal policy. A pioneering work that offers a u…
A Prison Without Walls? Eastern Siberian Exile in the Last Years of Tsarism/The House of the Dead: Siberian Exile Under the Tsars
In the large literature about the history of penality since the publication of Michel Foucault’s seminal work Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (New York: Vintage Books, 1979, ©1977) i
The specifics and spatial structure of circular migration in Russia
This article aims at distinguishing recurrent population movements within the territory of the Russian Federation between urban localities of different sizes and rural areas in connection to the processes of urbanization, suburbanization, and de-urbanization. Incomplete urbanization and the strong polarization of socio-economic space in Russia have resulted in two powerful contradictory population flows: centrifugal seasonal sub- and de-urbanizat…
The Management of Prisoners' Children in the R ussian F ederation
The inherited geography of the penal estate in the R ussian F ederation, which results in prisoners being sent long distances to serve their sentences, creates difficulties for maintaining prisoners' family ties. Using the results of interviews conducted with prisoners, former prisoners and relatives in the R ussian F ederation in 2007–2011, the article examines the patterns of contact between minors and their incarcerated parents in the context …
Prisoners' Wives in Post-Soviet Russia: ‘For my Husband I am Pining!’
The identity of a prisoner's wife is often a shameful societal stigma. Yet Russia's unique history of imprisonment has provided an unusually positive trope for women who have to come to terms with their partners' incarceration: the ‘Decembrist wife’ (dekabristka). This trope originated in the aftermath of the 1825 ‘Decembrist’ uprising—the first anti-monarchist revolt in modern Russian history. A handful of wives of the perpetrators voluntarily j…
In Exile Imprisonment' in Russia
This article considers the geographical dispersal of prisoners in Russia. The concept of ‘in exile imprisonment’ is developed to delineate an exceptional penal terrain. The authors examine the historical ‘traces’ of exile in Russian penal culture and argue that the persistence of ‘in exile imprisonment’ does not fit easily into official narratives about the development of penality in that country. The culture of ‘in exile imprisonment’ continues …

Gender, Geography, and Punishment: The Experience of Women in Carceral Russia
This book is the first of its kind that brings together human geography and the sociology of punishment to explore the relationship between distance and the punishment in contemporary Russia. Using established penological and geographical theories, the book presents in-depth empirical research to show how the experiences of women prisoners are shaped by the distances that the Russian penal service sends prisoners to serve their sentences. Its mos…

The Geography of Crime and Punishment in the Russian Federation
A UK-based team of two geographers and a criminologist presents the results of its ongoing investigation of the geography of Russia's prison system, which in 2011 is in the early stages of transition from housing inmates in communal barracks (regardless of the severity of their crimes) to one more similar to that in the United States, in which facilities are differentiated to accommodate the entire spectrum of inmates from those housed in maximum…
Disciplined mobility and carceral geography: Prisoner transport in Russia
This paper identifies and addresses a significant weakness in the literature on mobility – the theorisation of mobility and power, and specifically, the consideration of mobility as an expression of power. It argues that the ‘mobilities turn’ has tended to draw a connection between mobility, autonomy and freedom, and in so doing has inadequately explored and theorised involuntary and coerced mobility. To illustrate this, the paper draws together …
The "Crisis" Geography of Contemporary Russia
Against the background of structural and geographical changes that brought about the economic crises of the 1990s in the Russian Federation and subsequent recovery in the early years of the 21st century, the authors analyze the challenges of (and responses to) the 2008 global economic and financial crisis in Russia. Quantitative data derived from official sources and the authors' own research is used to analyze developments at a variety of spatia…
Patriotic Discourses in Russia's Penal Peripheries: Remembering the Mordovan Gulag
Using materials gathered during field work in the penal region in the southwest corner of the Republic of Mordoviya in 2007, the authors examine the official representations of the history of the Mordovan gulag from 1930 to the present day. Through an analysis of the penal authority's institutional newspaper, its museum and anniversary celebrations marking the founding of the Mordovan gulag, the authors argue that a stress in the official history…
Welcome to Malaya Rodina (‘Little Homeland’): Gender and Penal Order in a Russian Penal Colony
This article presents findings from research conducted in a penal colony for young women in Russia. Russia’s penal system remains under-researched in socio-legal and criminological scholarship. This contribution is the first multi-disciplinary study of Russian imprisonment to be conducted in the post-Soviet period, bringing together criminology, human geography and law. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was a landmark moment in Russia’s pe…
Lipstick, Lace, and Longing: Constructions of Femininity inside a Russian Prison
This paper examines the construction of femininity within Russian women's prisons. On the basis of fieldwork carried out in three women's prisons in the secure and restricted penal zone within Mordovia, Russian Federation, we present unique and original qualitative data, as well as a critical engagement with contemporary Russian press sources. Starting from the assumption that the (free) female body is a particular target of Foucauldian disciplin…
Russia's Unknown Agriculture: Household Production in Post-Socialist Rural Russia
Basing their findings on four years of research during which they studied rural districts drawn from a variety of contrasting regions of European Russia, the authors discuss the place of rural households in Russia's agri-food production system. They show that far from being solely concerned with 'survival' household plots in contemporary Russia are increasingly used to produce crops and livestock products for the market. In the book they describe…
Gde Muzh, Tarn Zhena' (Where the Husband is, So is the Wife): Space and Gender in Post-Soviet Patterns of Penality
Fifteen years after the collapse of communism, post-Soviet Russian remains a 'high-imprisonment society', second only to the USA in the relative number of people held in prison (570 per 100 000 population compared with the USA's 714 per 100 000). This gives a total prison population of around 800 000 people. These people are detained in penal facilities built during the Soviet era, the majority of which are in peripheral locations. Because the pe…
Russia's penal peripheries: Space, place and penalty in Soviet and post‐Soviet Russia
Russia has a distinctive ‘geography of punishment’ that is the product of the use of the peripheries as a place of exile and incarceration. Framing the analysis in a discussion of recent penal theory, including in the works of Michel Foucault, the author traces the formation of Russia's penal peripheries up to the present day and uses the example of the north of Perm’ oblast to analyse the process involved in forging a ‘penal region’
Geographical Differentiation in Household Plot Production in Rural Russia
Using survey data from rural rayons in four oblasts, the authors show that household production, formerly personal subsidiary agriculture, is geographically differentiated in post-Soviet Russia. They argue that the common tendency to view household production as an adaptive response by those especially vulnerable to economic shocks of the transition does not do justice to the diversity of its forms and, in particular, overlooks a growing commerci…

Forced Labour for Forestry: The Twentieth Century History of Colonisation and Settlement in the North of Perm' Oblast
IN THE SPRING OF 1990 the inhabitants of the Vishera valley in northern Perm' oblast' voted to evict 'Institution V-300', a Soviet Ministry of Interior 'correctional labour colony' that had been set up in the valley eight years earlier. The Vishera had had a long association with penal labour; V-300 was merely the most recent in the long line of camps in the region, and, like its predecessors, it had been introduced without consultation with the …

Khutora and Otruba in Stolypin's Program of Farm Individualization
The time has passed when it was automatically assumed that the Stolypin Land Reform represented an attempt on the part of the tsarist government to impose on an unwilling peasantry a predetermined plan for a change in land tenure. The revision of opinion has in large measure resulted from the work of George L. Yaney, who has shown that policy and the organization necessary for carrying it out evolved and changed during the course of the implement…
