Russia's Path from Gorbachev to Putin

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.

In aceasta noua carte, autorii aduc povestea la zi si examineaza, de asemenea, programul de liberalizare impus de FMI acestei tari candva puternice.
