Summary

Exploring the folk music and dance revival movements in Russia, this book shows how folk 'tradition' in Russia is an artificial cultural construct, which is periodically reinvented.

Performing Russia Summary

Performing Russia: Folk Revival and Russian Identity by Laura Olson (Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, US Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA)

The idea that culture is an artificial construct is very interesting

Performing Russia Reviews

'This book offers valuable insights into post-Soviet Russian society, culture, and grass-roots political developments.' - MLR, 102.1, 2007

'Olsen has a talent for clear exposition and cogent summary, as she shows in her survey of the appropriation of folk song in the eighteenth century by the literate classes and the main trends in folk-song performance in the nineteenth.'

- MLR, 102.1, 2007
