The book is a combined effort of scholars who participated in a conference on Post-Soviet Youth: A Comparative Study. The book focuses on the post-perestroika period, a time of great instability and change on the national and individual level. It analyzes the effect of this dynamic on youth, who in the transitional phase of adolescence are particularly susceptible to social disruption.
