Having achieved their riches over the course of a single generation, the top 0.1 percent of Russian society have become known for ostentatious lifestyles and tastes. Nevertheless, as Elisabeth Schimpfössl shows in this book, their stories reveal a bourgeois existence that is distinct in its circumstances and self-definition, and far more complex than the caricatures suggest. Rich Russians takes a deep and unprecedented look at this group: their personal stories, trajectories, ideas about life and how they see their role and position both on top of Russian society as well as globally. These people grew up and lived through a historically unique period of economic turmoil and social change following the collapse of the Soviet Union. But when taken in a wider historical context, their lives follow a familiar path, from new money to respectable money; parvenus becoming part of Society. Based on interviews with millionaires, billionaires, their spouses and children, Rich Russians concludes that, as a class, they have acquired all sorts of cultural and social resources which help consolidate their personal power. They have developed distinguished and refined tastes, rediscovered their family history, and begun actively engaging in philanthropy. Most importantly, they have worked out a narrative to justify why they deserve their elitist position in society - because of who they are and their superior qualities - and why they should be treated as equals by the West. This is a group whose social, cultural and political influence is likely to outlast any regime change. As the first book to examine the transformation of Russia's former "robber barons" into a new social class, Rich Russians provides insight into how this nation's newly wealthy tick.--Book flap Geschichte 1990-2017 gnd Soziale Klasse (DE-588)4077571-9 gnd Emporkömmling (DE-588)4326035-4 gnd Oligarchie (DE-588)4172548-7 gnd Elite (Social sciences) Russia (Federation) Social classes Russia (Federation) Oberschicht (DE-588)4042976-3 gnd Wirtschaftliche Elite (DE-588)4372106-0 gnd Russland (DE-588)4076899-5 gnd u MS 1360 idslu LR https://unisg.link/hm00660936 Inhaltsverzeichnis BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 NL201909 idslu L1 E51ANH-2019 nebis E5 zbzmon201808f kobe idszbz Z2 UIPZ-202003 nebis EN Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS 140 IDS LU E51WB E51-20190129 IDSSG HSG HSG UG MS 1360 S335 IDSLU LUUHL LUUHL UHFRE MS 1360 2018 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2018 A 36451 IDSBB B415 B415 415U1 SOB RSA 18158 NELB4151809 NEBIS UIPZ UIPZ ULIPZ IPZ 5.3-2446 NEBIS E51 E51 E51BB WB 305.5 Schi Ric IDSSG 100 1- Schimpfössl Elisabeth (DE-588)1164384511 Verfasser aut IDSSG 856 4- https://unisg.link/hm00660936 Inhaltsverzeichnis IDSLU 100 1- Schimpfössl Elisabeth (DE-588)1164384511 Verfasser aut NEBIS 100 1- Schimpfössl Elisabeth (DE-588)1164384511 Verfasser aut IDSBB 100 1- Schimpfössl Elisabeth (DE-588)1164384511 Verfasser aut NEBIS ZAD50 EBI01 Z01 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/z01_978-0-19-067776-3_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 B400 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006819031/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis IDSLU ILU50 ILU01 LUZHB https://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006819031/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 528741845
