Transformation of Soviet Workers' Social Practices in Post-Soviet Russia: From Informal Practices to Formal Ones?
This paper investigates shopfloor informal practices in Russian industry in the change-over from the Soviet economic system to the market. It offers a grass-roots perspective on the evolution of industrial relations in the process of economic and institutional restructuring in Russia and the Soviet Union from the 1970s to the 1990s. In particular it focuses on the distinction between formal and informal labour relations and the social mechanisms through which established practices are carried over from the one system of production to the other.
