This is a project to study how individuals and households are adapting to the momentous changes underway in rural areas of the former Soviet Union. In collaboration with researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences, the project team will carry out a three wave panel study of residents in two villages in Russia. The questionnaires will be designed to collect extensive information about the social networks in which inviduals and families are enmeshed in order to understand the role of connections and social support in adapting to rapid social change. Prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 it was next to impossible for Western researchers to collect objective survey data on social life in rural Russia. Since the downfall of communism in that state, rapid and disruptive changes in social and economic life are underway which are poorly understood. It is now possible for Western researchers to collect systematic empirical data on the changes underway, and there is some urgency to collect baseline information before these changes have progressed too far. By carrying out three waves of surveys in two contrasting villages, this project will help us understand the dramatic changes that are occurring in rural Russia and what their likely outcomes are.

这是一个研究个人和家庭如何适应前苏联农村地区正在发生的重大变化的项目。 该项目小组将与俄罗斯科学院的研究人员合作，对俄罗斯两个村庄的居民进行三波小组研究。 调查表的设计将收集有关非自愿者和家庭所处的社交网络的广泛信息，以了解联系和社会支持在适应迅速的社会变化方面的作用。 在1991年苏联解体之前，西方研究人员几乎不可能收集到俄罗斯农村社会生活的客观调查数据。 以来 共产主义在那个国家的迅速垮台 社会和经济生活中正在发生的破坏性变化，人们对此知之甚少。 现在，西方研究人员可以收集有关正在发生的变化的系统性经验数据，并且在这些变化发展得太远之前收集基线信息具有一定的紧迫性。 通过在两个对比鲜明的村庄进行三波调查，该项目将帮助我们了解俄罗斯农村正在发生的巨大变化及其可能的结果。
