The Socialist Way of Life in Siberia presents the dramatic transformation in their everyday lives during the late twentieth century. The book 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.BuriatsPolitics and governmentBuriatsSocial conditionsBuriatsSocial life and customsSocialismSocial aspectsRussia (Federation)Buri͡atii͡aBuri︠a︡tii︠a︡ (Russia)Social conditionsSiberia (Russia)Social conditionsSiberia (Russia)Ethnic relations19th century, 20th century, Buddhism, Buryatia, Communism, Ethnography, Language policies, Minorities, Modernization, Political studies, Religion, Russia, Russian Empire, Siberia (Russia), Social change, Social conditions, Social life and customs, Soviet Union, Way of life.BuriatsPolitics and government.BuriatsSocial conditions.BuriatsSocial life and customs.SocialismSocial aspects957/.5Chakars Melissa1245696MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825232403321The socialist way of life in Siberia4111793UNINA
