This book examines the little-known phenomenon of blat - the use of informal contacts and personal networks to obtain goods and services under the rationing which pervaded Soviet Russia. Alena Ledeneva analyses the historical, socio-economic, and cultural aspects of blat, and explores its implications for post-Soviet Russia.
