The Cambridge Companion toModern Russian Culture
Russia is a dominant force in the world, yet its culture has beenshaped by tensions involved in its unique position on the marginsof both East and West. As Russia faces the latest cultural challengefrom outside its national boundaries, this volume introducesRussian culture in all its rich diversity, including the historicalconditions that helped shape it and the arts that express itshighest achievements. Newly commissioned essays by leadingscholars explore language, religion, geography, ideologicalstructures, folk ethos and popular culture, literature, music,theatre, art, and film. A chronology and guides to further readingare also provided. The Companion provides both historicalorientation for the central processes of Russian culture andintroductory surveys of the arts in their modern context. Overall,the volume reveals, for students, scholars, and all those interestedin Russia, the dilemmas, strengths, and complexities of theRussian cultural experience.

Note on names and transliteration
Names are transliterated from their Russian forms with the excep-tion of familiar examples (Leo Tolstoy, Alexandre Benois). The Library ofCongress transliteration system predominates although contributorswere allowed some leeway, in part to adjust to their sense of commonusage.
