Urban leisure culture has changed, but more slowly than Soviet society; the distinguishing features of urban Russian leisure culture are its stability and relative autonomy, not its variability. Traditional urban leisure activities derived from peasant culture and peasant leisure involved primarily personal interaction with other peasants. The urban work schedule—with the day partitioned into distinct blocks of working and nonworking time—facilitated the emergence of attitudes that underlay the urban leisure culture. The forced industrialization that began in the late 1920s altered Russian society and the lives of the urban classes in countless ways, but had no impact at all on urban leisure behavior. Regular participation in nontraditional leisure activities, in other words, though substantial, is confined to a limited part of the urban population. The foregoing outline of the development of leisure culture in urban Russia has left some important assumptions unexamined and has ignored nuances that become apparent when one looks at age-specific and gender-specific variations in leisure behavior
