It contextualizes complex and often ambivalent empirical realities within historical and political-economic frameworks. Through extensive fieldwork, Alexander Vorbrugg gives rare insights into the operations of large agricultural companies and reveals how the deterioration of material infrastructures, social arrangements, government and local supports, and collective goods erode the conditions of rural inhabitants' well-being and agency. Vorbrugg introduces "dispersed dispossession," a concept that helps to relate gradual degradation to appropriation and agency. The concept captures losses that have been accumulated across Soviet, reform, and state-capitalist phases and stick to places, persons and potentialities. These losses are perpetuated and exploited by businesses and politicians and have profound implications for the conditions for resistance, shaping the range of conceivable alternatives. They are part of a history that is not fully past"-- Provided by publisher.Developpement ruralRussieRural developmentRussiaRussiaRural conditionsElectronic books.
