Although otkhodnichestvo is a mass phenomenon, it is not reflected in official economic statistics. Based on numerous interviews with otkhodniks and local experts, this stunningly original work focuses on the central and northern regions of European Russia. The authors draw a social portrait of the contemporary otkhodnik and offer a sociological assessment of the economic and political status these 'wandering workers' live with. 330 1 $aA really interesting book. Obvious are comparisons with other labor and social markets in China, the EU, and even in Australia. [?] Naturally, the local authorities do not concern themselves with these out-of-town workers, because they add nothing to their expenditure budgets but bring a lot into the spending side. Dr. Gregory R. Copley, author of "The Art of Victory" (2006) and "UnCivilization: Urban Geopolitics in a Time of Chaos" (2012), President of the International Strategic Studies Association, Washington, DC, USA 330 1 $aThis book is a definite breakthrough in sociology. Dr. Tatiana Nefedova, Leading research fellow, Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow 330 1 $a[The book] provides a better understanding of the current social and economic impact that the Moscow agglomeration and St. Petersburg have on the labor markets and employment pattern of the adult population of working age throughout the European part of Russia. Prof. Dr. Alexander Chepurenko, Dean of the Department of Sociology, Higher School of Economics, Moscow 330 1 $a"This well-translated volume is based on four to five years of field research in 40 regions and dozens of towns in Russia. [...] this is an interesting portrait of migrant workers and a welcome addition to studies of post-Soviet society." 330 1 $a"[...] the authors are to be congratulated for this eye-opening study of a large but previously invisible segment of the Russian labor force [...]. The book has obvious implications for social investment and taxation policies, but should also appeal to sociologists, ethnographers, and historians who will find many of its obversations ripe for comparative analysis." 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;$vVolume 141. 606 $amores 606 $abehavior 606 $alabor 606 $amigrants 606 $aRussia 606 $aotkhodnichestvo 606 $apolitical status 606 $asociology 606 $away of life 606 $astatistics 606 $aeconomy 615 4$amores 615 4$abehavior 615 4$alabor 615 4$amigrants 615 4$aRussia 615 4$aotkhodnichestvo 615 4$apolitical status 615 4$asociology 615 4$away of life 615 4$astatistics 615 4$aeconomy 676 $a325.47 700 $aPlusnin$b Juri$4aut$01837207 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$4edt 702 $aKazantseva$b Julia$4trl 702 $aKordonsky$b Simon$4edt 702 $aZausaeva$b Yana$4aut 702 $aZhidkevich$b Natalia$4aut 702 $aPozanenko$b Artemy$4aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964716203321 996 $aWandering Workers$94415631 997 $aUNINA
