ReviewsReview of the first edition: "[A]n excellent introductory text...well-informed, up-to-date and clearly written...authoritative in its command of both detail and perspective, over a wide range of topics...it would be hard to imagine a better short introduction to Russia's society and the contemporary Russian state." - Phil Hanson, Slavonica
