This ethnography of the Russian North, first published in 2005, focuses on post-Soviet relations of domination between an indigenous minority and a non-indigenous majority in an urban setting.

The 'predicament' refers to how the nascent indigenous movement was prepared to address Soviet-style domination, and instead was confronted with this 'new Russian' style.
