V. Krylov. The book "Этнические аспекты урбанизации в России" (Ethnic Aspects of Urbanization in Russia) by A. V. Krylov is a comprehensive study of the ethnic aspects of urbanization in Russia, focusing on the historical development of urban settlements and their impact on the country's social, economic, and cultural landscape. The author examines the role of ethnicity in shaping the urban environment and the experiences of various ethnic groups in Russian cities. The book begins with an overview of the history of urbanization in Russia, from ancient times to the present day, highlighting the key milestones and events that have influenced the development of urban areas. The author then delves into the ethnic composition of Russian cities, exploring the diversity of the population and how it has evolved over time. This section includes a detailed analysis of the demographic characteristics of different ethnic groups, such as Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and others, and how they have contributed to the urban landscape. Next, the author discusses the challenges faced by ethnic minorities in Russian cities, including discrimination, prejudice, and social exclusion. He argues that these challenges are not only a result of individual prejudices but also stem from systemic issues, such as unequal access to resources, education, and employment opportunities.
