The monograph is devoted to the history of the city between the two world wars. In it, for the first time, the history of Kurgan is presented from the point of view of the anthropological approach. The authors, on the one hand, characterize urban space as a space of everyday life, which largely determines the social behavior of its inhabitants, on the other hand, they reconstruct everyday problems, value attitudes and adaptation strategies of such categories of citizens as children, youth and women.
