Xenia Cherkaev is Senior Lecturer in the Department of History at the Higher School of Economics University, St. Petersburg, Russia. She has published articles in The American Historical Review; Cahiers du monde Russe; Environmental Humanities; and Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
Cherkaev has fashioned a historical ethnography of this property regime which is both theoretically complex and convincing. Rich in emic detail, it captures the essence of how the socialist household functioned, how it collapsed, and how it was remembered. -- Dominic Martin * Ab Imperio *
