Chapter Chapter 3 in Russian Provincial Society, 2022, pp 35-56 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Qualitative research is our key methodology in studying the Russian provincial society. Every local society in its entirety is treated as a case study. Throughout, we apply two methods: direct observation in situ and various forms of interviewing, with in-depth interviews a must. Quantitative methods are auxiliary, and we use them in combination and along with qualitative ones. The empirical basis includes direct observations of about 500 local communities throughout Russia and findings of field research in 285 local communities scattered across 54 of the 81 provincial regions of Russia. I selected 142 communities—half of the total number—with a greater focus on the social and territorial structure, the daily lives of people, their sources of livelihood, the economic behavior of households, and social self-organization.
