Reading Russian Fortunes: Print Culture, Gender and Divination in Russia from 1765 (Cambridge Studies in Russian Literature) Book

This is the first full-length study of the huge popularity and cultural impact of fortune-telling in Russia from the eighteenth century to the present. It examines the ways in which popular fortune-telling books found acceptance among urban and literate Russians, the role of women in fortune-telling, and the function of fortune-telling in their culture. It goes on to consider the relationship between urban fortune-telling and traditional oral culture, and discusses why fortune-telling continues as a powerful force in modern Russian society.Read More
