Over the past century alone, Russia has lived through great
achievements and deepest misery; mass heroism and mass crime;
over-blown ambition and near-hopeless despair - always emerging
with its sovereignty and its fiercely independent spirit intact. In
this book, leading Russia scholar Dmitri Trenin accompanies readers
on Russia's rollercoaster journey from revolution to post-war
devastation, perestroika to Putin's stabilization of post-Communist
Russia. Explaining the causes and the meaning of the numerous
twists and turns in contemporary Russian history, he offers a vivid
insider's view of a country through one of its most trying and
often tragic periods. Today, he cautions, Russia stands at a
turning point - politically, economically and socially - its
situation strikingly reminiscent of the Russian Empire in its final
years. For the Russian Federation to avoid a similar demise, it
must learn the lessons of its own history.
