This book is about the evolution of the communist movement in the Russian Federation from the last years of the U.S.S.R.'s existence through Russia's presidential elections of June--July 1996, when the chief contenders were the incumbent president.
I'm taking Professor Urban's class on Soviet history, particularly recent political history, at Catholic University and we haven't even been assigned this book yet, but I really enjoy it. It's extremely interesting to see how people who lived under a distorted version of Marxism reconcile history with Marx's theories and ideology. The book is great, good for anyone who wants an epilogue to the history of the Soviet Union.
