Acknowledgments As editor, I would like to thank my colleagues at St Petersburg State University for supporting the idea of this edited volume, for their patience in the long process of working out the themes and structure of the book as they evolved over time, and for the efforts they put into writing and editing their contributions, all the while putting up with various queries I would also like to thank them for their collegiality in the years that they have let me be part of their department and for making me feel welcome in that home-away-from-home I would like to thank the University of Richmond for the various forms of support over the years for research and conference travel to Russia I would also like to thank St Petersburg State University, especially Elena Chernova (Senior Vice-Rector for Economics), for giving me the opportunity to join the faculty It has been my honor and pleasure to work alongside a diverse and talented group of academics Further, our work together has been an inspiration on two fronts: that sociologists and economics can work side by side and have far more in common than sometimes seems the case (at least in the United States) and, more importantly, that in this strained day and age, Russians and Americans remain bound together by shared interests and values, which are not only academic I would also like to thank Nikita Lomagin and Maksim Storchevoi for helping me become better acquainted with Russian academe and helping me navigate the process that has brought vii viii  Acknowledgments me there I am grateful to the staff of Crossroads, Chainikoff, Sideriia, and Rare Olde Times for providing venues for productive writing Finally, I thank my family for enduring yet another book Members of our authors’ collective would like to express our thanks to St Petersburg State University for the various forms of support that made not only this volume but also our general academic work possible Additionally, Danila Raskov would also like to thank the Russian Foundation for Basic Research for the financial support that made possible his broader project on Nikolai Sieber’s life and work Finally, we all would also like to
