Few words about me: I’m graduated from Moscow State University (degree in Philosophy) and also there completed my Doctorate. In 2005 I’ve conferred the title of ‘Doctor of Sociology’ [equivalent to attainment of Professorial status in the UK system] at Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Sociology (Moscow). In 1995 I’ve founded Interdisciplinary Research Centre ‘Region’, Ulyanovsk State University and I’m leading it till now. From 2009 I’m Professor and Head of Department of Sociology, Higher School of Economics, St Petersburg and also director of the Centre for youth Studies at the same University. I’m working mainly in the field of youth studies, but with very broad focus. I have publications on youth violence, youth drug abuse, ethnic and religious identities, gender issues and sexualities, migration, but my main sphere of interests are youth (sub)cultures. My current projects explore generational formations, youth solidarities, patriotic moods of youth and influence of soviet past on young people.
