Sommario/riassunto

In this text, the authors draw on extensive field work that took them over a five year period to a variety of Russian regions. By describing the forms of small farming they found in these regions, the authors uncover Russia's 'unknown agriculture', and speculate about the role it will have in Russia's future.
