The Heritage of Soviet Oriental Studies
ISBN: 9780415599771 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

By 1996 a coalition of opposition parties triumphed in national elections, and Mongolia launched itself on a new course. It is perhaps the most intriguing of the post-community...
