Kinship and Marriage in the Soviet Union (1984) presents articles by established Soviet anthropologists, writing on kinship and marriage in the countries of the USSR. They represent all the main Soviet regions and display the way in which scholars handle their data within a particular theoretical framework. The collection demonstrates both the style of Soviet scholars who write in social anthropology, and the richness of living traditions among the diverse nationalities of the Soviet Union.
