Russian history is first and foremost a history of personalized
power. As Russia startles the international community with its
assertiveness and faces both parliamentary and presidential
elections, Lilia Shevtsova searches the histories of the Yeltsin
and Putin regimes. She explores within them conventional truths and
myths about Russia, paradoxes of Russian political development, and
Russia's role in the world. Russia --Lost in Transition discovers a
logic of government in Russia --a political regime and the type of
capitalism that were formulated during the Yeltsin and Putin
presidencies and will continue to dominate Russia's trajectory in
the near term. Looking forward as well as back, Shevtsova
speculates about the upcoming elections as well as the
self-perpetuating system in place --the legacies of Yeltsin and
Putin --and how it will dictate the immediate political future. She
also explores several scenarios for Russia's future over the next
decade.
