Abstract

This article examines the experiences of infrastructure deficits and changes in bodily practices for older adults in rural areas of South Karelia, Russia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus is on how crisis-bound bodily sensations, anxieties and fears from older people living in this area reflect their loss of agency to overcome immanent features of the socio-geographical circumstances that make up aging lives in peripheral settlements.
