Solid piece of work

This work, which a collbararive project from many renouned authors, is a technical work about the history, ecomonics, and culture of Russia during the peristrioka and the early 1990's. This book was used in my Russian Culture class, and I could not think of a better piece to illustrate the philoshy and psychology of the Russian population during this time. This is a must for anyone wishing to understand the political and cultural backdrop of present Russia.
