“The most striking achievement of this in so many ways outstanding book rests in its ethnographic accounts of the RCS [Russian Computer Scientists] as a new type of power-knowledge intellectual…. The book is easy on technical language and should be accessible to a wide readership beyond Russian studies.” - Dušan I. Bjelic (Slavic Review) “<i>From Russia with Code</i>...is both timely and unique.... Biagioli and LÉpinay’s volume demonstrates that IT professionals both in Russia and abroad have the potential to disrupt the Russian state’s current conception of sovereignty...and to redefine the relationship between the state, its citizens, and the international community.” - Alexandra V. Orlova (Surveillance & Society) “This book is a valuable read for those with an interest in computer programming and high-tech cultures outside the United States, in post-Soviet ethnography, and in the elusive myth of the Russian programmer.” - Adam Kriesberg (Information & Culture) “<i>From Russia with Code </i>offers a rich and insightful view into the Russian IT sector and brings welcome scholarly attention to a population that has been overrepresented in popular journalism, but less well attended to in scholarship.... This accessibly written, engaging, and insightful volume will be of interest to broad audiences.” - Julie Hemment (Anthropos) “This is a superb collection of articles on post-Soviet IT by highly accomplished scholars.” - Barbara Walker (Technology and Culture) “<i>From Russia with Code </i>appears as essential reading for those interested in STS, cultural history, transnational migrations, and the sociology, history, and anthropology of Russian-speaking information science and information technology. . . . I am confident that the complex, grounded realities of <i>From Russia with Code </i>take the first necessary step on a path toward understanding how Russian-speakers coded the world.” - Benjamin Peters (Soviet and Post-Soviet Review)
