Russia's Path from Gorbachev to Putin: The Demise of the Soviet System and the New Russia

By David M. Kotz

Book Overview

In their 1996 book for Routledge - Revolution from Above - David Kotz and Fred Weir shed light on the oligarchs' emergence and pointed out that many of their number had ironically been influential under the Soviet regime. In this new book, the authors bring the story up to date and also examine the liberalization program that the IMF imposed on this once powerful country.
