Russia's Unfinished Revolution - Political Change from Gorbatchev to Putin

McFaul spent a great deal of time in Moscow in the 1990s and witnessed firsthand many of the events he describes. This experience, combined with frequent visits since and access to senior Russian policymakers and politicians, has resulted in a well-informed account. "Russia's Unfinished Revolution" is a comprehensive history of Russia during this crucial period.
