Opis

This is the study of the failure of democracy in Russia after the collapse of the USSR. It traces the origins of that failure into the Soviet period, and shows how Russian political elites built a system which was more about maximizing their own power than opening the system up to popular control.

Recenzje

the level of analysis is uniformly high, the detailed knowledge of events is impressive ... For those requiring a relatively short and accessible upper level survey of Soviet and Russian politics in the last two decades, this book would be ideal.
