Abstract: Abstract Earlier chapters have shown some of the many reasons why one should not idealise life in the USSR or regret the demise of the Soviet order. The old days were bad, but, nevertheless, conditions of life have deteriorated drastically for many Russians. In the wake of ‘market reform’, poverty, social tension, stress and insecurity have taken a tragic toll in terms of well being, health and life expectancy. The labour market is only a part of this scenario, but an essential one on which the majority depend for their livelihood and for important elements of their identity, their status and self-esteem and for social relations well beyond those in the workplace itself.
