Do you want to learn everything about digitalisation in Russia, or about how to use digital sources and methods for studying Russia? Are you seeking to broaden your horizon beyond the US and Europe and the English-language space?
Look no further: The Palgrave Handbook of Digital Russia Studies, edited by Mariëlle Wijermars (UM) together with Daria Gritsenko and Mikhail Kopotev (U Helsinki), has just been published and is available in Open Access!
The Handbook presents a multidisciplinary and multifaceted perspective on how the ‘digital’ is simultaneously changing Russia and the research methods scholars use to study Russia. It provides a critical update on how Russian society, politics, economy, and culture are reconfigured in the context of ubiquitous connectivity and accounts for the political and societal responses to digitalisation. In addition, it answers practical and methodological questions in handling Russian data and a wide array of digital methods. The volume makes a timely intervention in our understanding of the changing field of Russian Studies and is an essential guide for scholars, advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying Russia today. The volume comprises 32 chapters, over 600 pages, written by more than 40 contributors based in Russia, Europe and the US.
