Reviews

'The sheer sweep of its scope and goals are at the root of this pathbreaking collection's accomplishments...' - Abby M.

An excellent example of historical scholarship in its own right, it should lay the foundation for further research into Russian, Soviet, and indeed post-Soviet masculinites.' - Graham H.Roberts, University of Surrey, Slavonica
