between ageism and sexism are identified and interpreted  thereby using comparative materials
on different countries. The book discusses the issue of educating the elderly in a new
direction-namely  the use of ICTs. It also presents the result of studies on pension reform
discussions over social networks  which illuminate the social response to the political  social
and economic agenda. As such this book will be a valuable read to researchers specialized in
aging  gender studies  quality of life studies  Russian studies  ICT adoption studies  and to
those studying the social transformation of Russia  Eastern Europe  the BRICS countries  which
face similar problems with aging.
