Opis

This book examines the beliefs and views of those who identified themselves as "democrats" during the Gorbachev era in Soviet politics, and traces the development of those beliefs in the post-Soviet era. It bases its analysis on attitudes towards the Soviet state, beliefs about the ideal future democracy, and beliefs about Russia's place in the world. Lukin also places ideology of Russian democrats into the context of Russian and world intellectual history.

Recenzje

Many will value this book for its careful exploration of the existing literature, for its ability to reach beyond the better-known publishing houses based in Moscow and St Petersburg, and for its combination of documentary and interview sources.
