This book analyzes the Soviet Union's social problems, focusing on
those it shares with Western industrial societies. It assesses the
social concerns confronting Gorbachev, including poverty;
prostitution; health, education, and family issues; and the
difficulty of adapting to technological change.
In post-Soviet Russia's transition to new political and economic
systems, few issues are as important as labor. Although the
?worker's paradise? may have been largely imaginary, the loss of
job security and benefits that has accompanied marketization could

This book analyzes the Soviet Union's social problems, focusing on

In post-Soviet Russia's transition to new political and economic
systems, few issues are as important as labor. Although the
"worker's paradise" may have been largely imaginary, the loss of
job security and benefits that has accompanied marketization could
well become a catalyst for yet another political upheaval. In this
timely book, Walter Connor explores how the Yeltsin government has
attempted to avoid this pitfall of system change.Connor examines
Russia's emergent labor politics in the critical first years of the
post-Soviet period, focusing on the problems Yeltsin has
encountered in attempting to adopt a "corporatist" solution to the
conflicts of interest that have arisen between labor, employers,
and the state. With many employers still heavily dependent on the
state, while others are already beyond state control, the
corporatist effort has been sabotaged, Connor contends, by the lack
of distinct interest groups found in more mature market economies.
He concludes with an analysis of what these recent developments may
portend for Russian politics and government in the near term.
