This report investigates the relationship between the ideology of civil society and everyday practices in a Russian environmental youth NGO called PiM. It analyzes three separate empirical levels: individual strategies and perceptions; internal organizational practices and cooperation between PiM and its Norwegian partner; and external organizational practices as PiM advocates for change in environmental policies. In conclusion, the report elaborates upon the term 'habitus' in order to suggest that negative experiences of the past form practices of the present in NGO life.
