Celebrity and Glamour in Contemporary Russia: Shocking Chic

This output consists of the following elements: the Introduction, Strukov's own chapter and his research contribution to the volume. Conceived by Strukov, and produced in collaboration with Goscilo, this is the first book to explore the phenomenon of glamour and celebrity in contemporary Russian culture. The volume seeks to make a contribution to Russian Studies by exploring a new field of cultural production and presenting a new theoretical framework for the analysis of post-Communist societies. It also seeks to challenge assumptions pertinent to western Celebrity Studies by expanding the notions of 'celebrification' to societies belonging to the so-called ‘alternative modernities’.
