Book Overview

This textbook offers an up-to-date and incisive overview of contemporary Russia. Systematically covering the country's history, geography, society, politics, economy and culture, it analyses current developments --the headlines and the more everyday-- and situates its analysis in the wider historical context to help readers make sense of one of the world's most important regions. Building on the success of its previous editions and analysing complex questions in the light of expertise gathered over decades, this remains the leading text for a wide-ranging account of Russia today.

Praised for its accessible and engaging writing style, this new edition is essential reading for anyone interested in gaining a more nuanced and wide-ranging understanding of contemporary Russia.
