Abstract

In this paper, the Russian village of Moshkino pro?
vides an opportunity to analyze neoliberal market development
in the postsocialist context. Unenthusiastic growth in individual
farming has resulted due to a desire among villagers to farm
collectively. This desire is based on internalized and culturally
accepted forms of labour exchange and social welfare. Villagers
have succeeded in creating a neoliberal collective?a farm that
operates under basic market principles but maintains the labour
and social support structure of the traditional collective. The
Russian model is a salient example of how capitalism cannot be
exported as uniformly as consultants have suggested.
