From the rear cover
On 31st December 1991 the USSR officially ceased to exist, and on 1st January 1992, the Russian Federation was born. "Politics Russia" examines the end of the USSR and explains exactly what happened next.
Providing an engaging guide to the complexities of Russian politics, "Politics Russia" charts Russia's political history from the attempt to create a democracy and a market economy from the rubble of soviet socialism in the 1990s, through Putin's bid to create a strong state and to 'manage democracy', up to the implications of the 2008 election of Dmitry Medvedev as Russia's third post-Soviet president."Politics Russia" gives a comprehensive analysis of Russia's executive, legislature and judiciary, of the relations between the federal government and the regions, of political parties, civil society and mass media, the key policy areas of the economy, foreign and defence issues and health and social welfare, as well as contextualising the significance of informal politics, and the continuing importance of networks and patron-client relations to Russian politics and government.
At a time when Russia is reasserting its role as a global power, "Politics Russia" offers timely and essential reading for the student and general reader alike.Key features:
