Abstract: The paper is reviewing the monograph 'Between Home and... Home. The return spatial mobility of population in Russia', printed by the 'Novyy Khronograf' publisher in 2016. Among the unquestionable merits of the monograph is the fact that it relies on an original research program which seeks not only to describe but also to explain regional variation of spatial mobility of population in Russia. The main provisions of the program include the following: the mobility of population reflects a certain state of society, while migration serves as mobility’s concrete manifestation; factors of spatial mobility and its flows depend on the society's stage of development - current, geographically differentiated economic, political, and institutional conditions; separation of return and one-way migration. The main content is presented in three parts. The first part covers Russian urbanization and population mobility, rural-urban continuum in the context of Russian population’s spatial mobility. The second part covers the evolution of 'otkhodnichestvo' and its contemporary state in Russia. The third part covers spatial mobility of centrifugal nature (out of the cities to the country). A merit of the monograph is its continuity with the authors' previous works and the use of results of their 2014-2016 expeditions
