Zusammenfassung:This book represents the analytical overview of human-geographical research in Russia. It was prepared for the Regional Conference of the International Geographical Union held in August 2015 in Moscow. The book was published under the aegis of the Russian Geographical Society in order to present Russian human-geographical research topics and achievements to a non-Russian speaker.
The book is divided into three parts. The first part presents main issues specific to theoretical and methodological approaches in Russian human-geographical research. During Soviet times human (and, especially, economic) geography was being subject to high ideological pressure. In the post-Soviet times lack of the dominant ideology has led to the "erosion" of theoretical base of geographical science. As the authors mention, since the beginning of the 1990s, human geography in Russia has been suffering from crisis in theory and in education. Nonetheless, Russian geographers have been trying to overcome this crisis and adapt themselves to world leading trends in geographical research. In the authors’ opinion, the Russian human geography is "better adapted to the universal context of Human Geography than it was 25 years ago".
