[Air-L] Livejournal sources, specifically the Russian segment

[ep1curas at aol.com]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently on fieldwork in Russia, researching how environmentalist 
bloggers make use of LJ in their social/political relations, and 
development and perfomance of personal identity. Basically the use 
value of the whole thing for these people :)

I've been quite out of the loop with checking journals/Athens/Google 
Scholar and all the rest for the past little while, and was wondering 
if there were any studies I have missed. Anything that touches on 
Livejournal would be great, but anything dealing with specifically 
Russian facets would also be great..either in English or Russian.

Normally I'd share full citations of sources I've already found to be 
useful, but I've been relegated to an internet cafe here and do not 
have any to hand. Off the top of my head though, Eugene Gorny's 2004 
study of 'national specifics' of Russian LJ is worth looking for, as is 
'Control+Shift', a book I think edited by Katie Teubener. Anything by 
Terri Senft is wonderful for LJ in general.
Urgh..my memory is suffering..

So yes..any sources that anyone could recommend would be gratefully 
received!
