What Reviewers Are Saying
"This book is the most useful compendium for teaching contemporary Russian politics currently on the market... Recommended." -- P. Rutland Choice "An impressive collection of prominent scholars provide detailed analyses of the critical institutions that comprise the Russian state, the wider relationships between the Russian state and its citizens, and specifi c policy formulations regarding the economy, foreign relations, defense, and security... It will be appealing to anyone searching for a relatively crisp, yet extensive account of Russia's incomplete and contradictory process of political and economic reform since the collapse of the Soviet Union, with a focus on the Putin era. As such, it would serve as an excellent foundational text for a Russian politics course." -- Sarah Henderson Slavic Review
