Recenzii
[A] welcome addition to the growing literature on material culture in Russian history. The editors should be commended for the ways in which they balanced the chapters and for including subjects drawn from the Muscovite, Imperial, and Soviet periods.
In this engaging book, readers learn what different meanings individual objects acquired through their lifespan, and in the different places that they found themselves in, and how they were able to form different relationships with those who saw, touched, and used them depending on the setting. In doing so, this study offers an innovative perspective of the Russian past.
