Russian democracy in the post-totalitarian era is intimately bound up with the fate of its representative institutions. In Russia's Road to Democracy, Victor Sergeyev and Nikolai Biryukov assess why the Congress of People's Deputies, and the other newly elected institutions founded under perestroika, not ony failed to prevent, but also seemed to speed up and provoke, the disintegration of the Soviet Union. By studying the early history of the Congress, the book seeks insights on the prospects for democracy in Russia.

This monograph covers important problems caused by the interaction of different types of surface acoustic waves with surface inhomogeneities. The problem of surface acoustic wave interaction with periodic topographic gratings, widely used in filters and resonators, is given careful consideration. The most important results of surface wave scattering by local defects such as grooves, random roughness and elastic wedges are described. Different theoretical approaches and practical rules for solving the surface wave problems are also presented.
