Globalization occurs in three major directions: the spread of capitalism, free trade and establishment of transnational corporations; the spread of democratic institutions and values; and the appropriation of the Western culture. The degree of a state's economic openness to the global market conditions the volume and the character of appropriation of Western popular culture, ideas, and technology. On a socio-economic level, this penetration often manifests as the adoption of consumer values, Western fashion, and lifestyles. This thesis will examine the transformation of Russia over the past twenty years, and the role of Western influences on the development of the Russian consumer culture after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

520 $a Globalization occurs in three major directions: the spread of capitalism, free trade and establishment of transnational corporations; the spread of democratic institutions and values; and the appropriation of the Western culture. The degree of a state's economic openness to the global market conditions the volume and the character of appropriation of Western popular culture, ideas, and technology. On a socio-economic level, this penetration often manifests as the adoption of consumer values, Western fashion, and lifestyles. This thesis will examine the transformation of Russia over the past twenty years, and the role of Western influences on the development of the Russian consumer culture after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
520 $a This master's thesis research draws on the disciplinary approaches of history, economics, and cultural studies. Research methods also included a cultural case study based on a survey conducted in the Russian city of Krasnodar. I utilized qualitative methods with some quantitative elements to synthesize and analyze the data.
520 $a The findings show that it is because of the economic stabilization and Russia's openness to the global market after the fall of the USSR, that Russians began to adopt Western popular culture from leisure shopping for famous luxury designer brands, and restaurant dining to purchasing real estate and cars, and traveling internationally.
520 $a I predict Russia will continue her socio-economic and cultural development in the chosen direction. Economic prosperity and rising inequality will lead to higher levels of political awareness and social activism. The emerging social activism could develop further, potentially changing Russian society. The time will show whether Russian social and political activism will be successful and which direction Putin's politics will take.
