Focusing on urban markets and street trading, this monograph explores the street economy's impact on everyday life in Russia during its transitional period. Through extensive fieldwork in St Petersburg and the Leningrad region, the author analyzes micro-changes in small trading from the early 1990s to the mid-2000s. It highlights the professional strategies of traders and grassroots transformation processes, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and those interested in post-Soviet economic and social dynamics.
