Contemporary Russian culture

[Allan Reid]

Greetings

I have been looking at, but have not yet worked through (summer project)
"The Cambridge Companion to Modern Russian Culture", ed Nicholas Rzhevsky,
1998.  Individual topical chapters are by very well-chosen experts (D.
Likhachev on Orthodoxy, J. Bowlt on art, C. Kelly on popular culture, etc),
and the approach blends historical background and tradition with
contemporary  experience.  All the topics one would want seem to be there,
the bibliography is excellent, there is a filmography, and I suspect this
would be a perfect core text for an honours-level course.

Good luck
