A New Hope for Russia
As Russia enters the 21st century, the question of her future role in the world community continues to hold great interest and cause considerable concern to the West. In an attempt to overcome the setbacks of the totalitarian past and the failure of the utopian social experiment, the nation's thinkers are reexamining the very foundations of their society. This book offers a unique insight into this issue by giving the perspective of those most qualified to comment -- the Russian people themselves. Leading Russian philosophers, historians, journalists and political scientists, contribute their views on a wide range of topics -- from the building of political elite's to the burning question of whether Russia can ever embody the new, modern ideal of 'The Open Society'. A New Hope for Russia reveals the reality of contemporary Russian hopes and fears for this new Millennium.
