Acknowledgments

This special journal edition grew out of a seminar series and workshop on contemporary Russian culture held at the University of Cambridge in 2007–2009 and we are particularly grateful to Alexander Etkind, Serguei Oushakine, Ellen Rutten, and Emma Widdis for their support and advice at various stages of the project. We were fortunate to benefit from the insights of the many scholars of contemporary Russian culture who spoke at Cambridge, including Konstantin Azadovskij, Birgit Beumers, Sander Brouwer, Aline Ehrenfried, Olga Goriunova, Gasan Gusejnov, Dan Healey, Jeremy Hicks, Catriona Kelly, Susan Larsen, Felicitas Macgilchrist, Polly McMichael, Vladimir Orlov, Mathijs Pelkmans, Hilary Pilkington, Oliver Ready, Lara Ryazanova-Clarke, Stas Savickij, Claire Shaw, Vlad Strukov, Stephen White, and Andrei Zorin. Cambridge’s Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) provided generous financial support as did the Centre for East European Language Based Area Studies (CEELBAS), while the Cambridge Slavonic Department helped with various aspects of the project: for this institutional support we are very grateful. In our work with SEET, we have benefited a great deal from the editorial expertise, patience, and good humour of Edward Swiderski. We also extend our thanks to our anonymous and dedicated peer reviewers, all leading scholars in their fields, who devoted time and energy to this project.
