This passionate, pitiless analysis of post-Soviet Russia should be
read by all interested in that country's present and future.
Library Journal"It is a sorry tale, told with passion and
competence." The IndependentRussia has undergone more seismic
changes over the last 100 years than almost any other country. The
1917 Revolution, the rapid industrialisation of the 1930s, the
following devastation of the Second World War, and the present
return to Capitalism has seen the deep impoverishment of the entire
population. The key questions which Kagarlitsky addresses are how
to understand these changes, and how to characterise the complex
process of reform, revolution and counter revolution. In a country
with such a turbulent and violent political history, what path
should development take, and what lies ahead? Looking in detail at
the nature of Russian society and politics since 1990, Kagarlitsky
offers an introductory political analysis of the major political
and economic developments that have taken place under President
Yeltsin, and the legacy he bequeathed so unexpectedly to his
successor Putin. He focuses on the role of the media in post-Soviet
Russia, corporate structures and their influence on social
conflict, the formation of the oligarchy and the role of the left
in modern Russia. This is a valuable source for anyone requiring a
basic understanding of post-Soviet Russia and a clear historical
guide for all students of contemporary Russian history.
