Yet the idea that people are really free to live as they choose turns out to be problematic. Personal choice is limited by a range of factors such as a person’s economic situation, class, age, government policies and social expectations, especially regarding gender roles. Furthermore, the notion of free choice is a crucial feature of capitalist ideology, and can be manipulated in the interests of the market. This edited collection explores the complexity of choice in Russia and Ukraine. The contributors explore how the new choices available to people after the collapse of the Soviet Union have interacted with and influenced gender identities and gender, and how choice has become one of the driving forces of class-formation in countries which were, in the Soviet era, supposedly classless. The book will of interest to students and scholars across a range of subjects including gender and sexualities studies, history, sociology and political science.SociologyIdentity politicsRussia—Politics and governmentGender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Politics and Genderhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911260Russian and Post-Soviet Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911170Sociology.Identity politics.Russia—Politics and government.Gender Studies.Politics and Gender.Russian and Post-Soviet Politics.305.30947086Attwood Lynneedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSchimpfössl Elisabethedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtYusupova Marinaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300605003321Gender and Choice after Socialism2099698UNINA
