| Abstract: | Market reforms in contemporary Russia have spawned a rapid social transformation in the urban sphere. The departure from Soviet-era drabness of dress and life from the late 1980s is nothing short of startling. In larger Russian cities one finds fine dining, expensive cars, cellular phones, night clubs and high fashion clothes. As a result, urban Russia has been transformed, forested by foreign investment, particularly in Moscow and St. Petersburg. |
