🏭 My new post in the research blog of the project Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time (DéPOT).

It tells about my new book The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia through the lens of deindustrialization and intersectional inequalities in the urban space of industrial neighborhoods.

Some #UrbanGardens I've come across recently, that I wanted to highlight on #SilentSunday. Gardens like this provide food for #pollinators and make #UrbanSpace more tranquil. Obviously, it needs to be done the right way (without bee-harming pesticides, with good soil and untreated seeds), but imagine if we had these in the space between #roads and #sidewalks instead of #grass?

Colorful wildflower garden on a city street, in the space between the sidewalk and street. Lots of red and yellow and pink blooms.
