Women in particular are profoundly affected by the imprisonment of a family member. Families and Punishment in Russia details the experiences of these women-be they wives, mothers, girlfriends, daughters-who, as relatives of Russia's three-quarters of a million prisoners, are the "invisible victims" of the country's harsh penal policy. A pioneering work that offers a unique lens through which various aspects of life in twenty-first century Russia can be observed: the workings of criminal sub-cultures; societal attitudes to parenthood, marriage and marital fidelity; young women's quests for a husband; nostalgia for the Soviet period; state strategies towards dealing with political opponents; and the social construction of gender roles."--Bloomsbury Publishing.International library of human geography ;41.Reformatories for womenRussia (Federation)Women prisonersRussia (Federation)WomenEffect of imprisonment onRussia (Federation)Penology & punishmentReformatories for womenWomen prisonersWomenEffect of imprisonment onPallot Judith1177072Katz Elenaactive 2017,UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910162792403321Waiting at the prison gate2954890UNINA
