Misinterpreting Modern Russia - Western Views of Putin and His Presidency

Zusammenfassung When President Vladimir Putin ascended to the Kremlin at the end of the 1990s, he had to struggle with the after-effects of Boris Yeltsin's political agenda: outrageous corruption, endless social injustice, and deeply entrenched interests dating back to Gorbachev and beyond. This title looks beyond the stereotypes to the hard logic of the 1990s.
