Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Buryats are a Mongolian population in Siberian Russia, the largest Indigenous minority. The Socialist Way of Life in Siberia presents the dramatic transformation in their everyday lives during the late twentieth century: challenges the common notion that the process of modernization during the later Soviet period created a Buryat national assertiveness rather than assimilation or support for the state. |
