Sweet Seduction Sabotage

‘I crave to be near you, Kelly. And I have since I first laid eyes on you in Sweet Seduction’s store. I can’t explain it any other way. I was drawn to you, like the gravity of the sun. I didn’t want to fight it, I wanted to, even if only briefly, say it was mine.’

Post-Soviet Social

Post-Soviet Social

The Soviet Union created a unique form of urban modernity, developing institutions of social provisioning for hundreds of millions of people in small and medium-sized industrial cities spread across a vast territory. After the collapse of socialism these institutions were profoundly shaken–casualties, in the eyes of many observers, of market-oriented reforms associated with neoliberalism and the Washington Consensus. In Post-Soviet Social, Stephen Collier examines reform in Russia beyond the Washington Consensus. He turns attention from the noisy battles over stabilization and privatization during the 1990s to subsequent reforms that grapple with the mundane details of pipes, wires, bureaucratic routines, and budgetary formulas that made up the Soviet social state.
