This introductory text, written by an established authority on
communist and post-communist politics, describes how Vladimir Putin
has turned to those with backgrounds in the military and security
structures to provide stability in today's Russian Federation,
following the democratising reforms of Gorbachev and the ensuing
instability of the Yeltsin presidency. Against the background of an
increasing authoritarianism, which has restored features of the
Soviet political system, it examines the attempts by social and
economic groups to assert themselves against the state using
embryonic democratic forms that fall far short of pluralism. The
book's fourteen chapters offer an exceptionally broad coverage. It
will appeal to first- and second-year students in higher education,
but its deliberately accessible style will also make it attractive
to sixth-form students and the general reader. -- .
