Drawing from many disciplines and sources, the Russian Social Science Review publishes thematic collections of articles that have been carefully selected from Russian scholarly sources for translation into English. Every multidisciplinary issue focuses on a general interest topic that is best surveyed from crosscutting perspectives to produce a more revealing and informative picture than the application of any single methodology can deliver. Examples of such topics—some of which the journal revisits from time to time—include:

  • Youth culture and student life
  • Family relations
  • Social change and inequality
  • Political behavior and ideological beliefs
  • Sex and gender
  • Love and marriage
  • Ethnic relations
  • Religious attitudes

The highly readable translations published in the Review have all been vetted by the English-speaking editors of the specialty journals where the articles first appeared, including Russian Education & Society, Russian Politics & Law, Russian Studies in History, Russian Studies in Literature, Russian Studies in Philosophy, Sociological Research, and others. Thus the Review offers both a panorama of Russian scholarship in the humanities and social sciences and an entry point for understanding the distinctive worldviews and ways of life of the people of the Russian Federation.
