3. Lifestyle and Creative Engagement with Rural Space in Northwest Russia

  • Masha Shaw (author)
Chapter of: Lifestyle in Siberia and the Russian North(pp. 105–130)
In Chapter 3, Masha Shaw takes readers to a remote village on the Kola Peninsula in northwest Russia. Inhabitants there have developed specific skills and strategies for overcoming the lack of predictable transport into and out of the village. The resulting isolation fosters creativity and enables individuals to pursue certain life projects that divert from or complement urban ones. Arguably more so than in urban areas, lifestyles in remote villages closely reflect collective practices of place-making.
