Cities are constructed and organized by people, and in turn become an important factor in the organization of human life, sites of both social encounter and social division, and providing for their inhabitants “a sense of place”. This book explores the nature of Russian cities, outlining the role played by various Russian cities over time. It focuses on a range of cities including provincial cities, considering both physical, iconic created cities, such as Novorossisk, built as a monument to the Great Patriotic War, and also cities as represented in films, fiction and other writing. Overall the book provides a rich picture of the huge variety of Russian cities.
