Title
Tragedy of Russia's Reforms: Market Bolshevism Against Democracy,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 left Boris Yeltsin with a fundamental choice about how to transform Russias economy and societya 'bottomup' civicdemocratic revolution with the participation of the countrys populist forces, or a 'freemarket' revolution from above that involved an alliance between the Yeltsin camp and the nomenklatura, the powerful bureaucrats and factory managers left over from the Soviet era.Yeltsins choice of the latter course brought on an economic collapse almost twice as severe as that of Americas Great Depression, and it also subverted prospects for a popularly responsive government and a constructive political opposition.The authors here present a boldly original analysis of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the birth of the Russian state. The keys to understanding these events, they argue, are the prescriptions of Western 'transitologists,' the International Monetary Fund, and advocates of economic 'shock therapy.' These prescriptions allowed the nomenklatura and the financial 'oligarchs' to acquire Russias industrial and natural resources and to heavily influence the countrys political destiny.In this sweeping interpretation, the authors skillfully place the contemporary Russian experience in the context of history, political and social theory, and Russias place in the international system.
