Dispersed Dispossession is an insightful and ambitious study that documents the dramatic transformation in post-Soviet Russia. The book is deeply sensitive to local specificities of rural change but does not shy away from broader claims about forms of land dispossession that enrich broader theoretical debates on rural change in Russia and beyond. Indeed, few studies accomplish this dual feat. -- Susanne Wengle * author of Black Earth, White Bread: A Technopolitical History of Russian Agriculture and Food * Following in the footsteps of the great Russian theorists of the Soviet agrarian question, Alexander Vorbrugg’s outstanding book brings the story of Russian agriculture into the Putin Period. Based on rich ethnographic fieldwork, Dispersed Dispossession is an original and compelling contribution to our understanding of both post-socialist transitions and the contemporary agrarian question. -- Michael Watts * Class of '63 Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley *
