Gaidar’s Revolution
After the collapse of the Soviet Union a team of young economic reformers led by Yegor Gaidar worked to create a new economic future for Russia. Against an overwhelming threat of looming hunger and civil war, they created a market economy which is still in place today. In the face of crisis, a process of 'shock therapy'- involving the end of price regulation, the introduction of privatisation and a reduction in public spending - appeared necessary. Their plans have been the subject of controversy ever since - the path to the new economy was not smooth and Russia continued to struggle with economic crises throughout the 1990s. Yet Gaidar's plans have been widely praised for saving the country from complete collapse. For the first time in this book, the participants in the process reveal their experiences during those frantic days, their insights into Yegor Gaidar and of the formation of post-Soviet Russia. In doing so, this book provides a unique perspective on contemporary Russia, making it an indispensable resource for understanding its economic and political complexities.
L’epoca di Berezovskij. La Russia degli oligarchi?
Un libro che per la prima volta fa luce sui tragici e inebrianti anni Novanta, il decennio più doloroso e rimosso della Russia contemporanea, contrassegnato da una miseria disperata e da un lusso sfacciato. Uno strumento indispensabile per capire le profonde fratture nella società che ancora oggi la Russia fatica a sanare. IL LIBRO: Ci sono personalità complesse, estremamente affascinanti, che, con il proprio modo di essere, sono in grado di plasmare il mondo circostante, adattandolo ai propri desideri e obiettivi. Tra queste, un posto di assoluto rilievo spetta a Boris Berezovskij, il “re degli oligarchi”, l’uomo-simbolo della Russia degli anni Novanta. Pëtr Aven, che lo ha freque...
Время Березовского
Для истории 1990-е годы в России стали эпохой Горбачева и Ельцина, которые, несмотря на свой прижизненный антагонизм, так и останутся в ней братьями-близнецами, сокрушившими советскую власть. Но для очень многих людей того поколения символом 90-х была фигура Бориса Абрамовича Березовского. Почему именно он воплотил в себе важные черты своего времени – времени становления второго ро...
Revolution
Revolution: Russian Art, 1917-1932' encapsulates a momentous period in Russian history that is vividly expressed in the diversity of art produced between 1917, the year of the October Revolution, and 1932 when Stalin began to suppress the avant-garde and its debates. Based around the great exhibition of 1932 held at the State Russian Museum in Leningrad, the book explores the fascinating themes and artistic developments of the first fifteen years of the Soviet state, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, posters, graphics and film. The exhibition itself was to be the swansong of avant-garde art in Russia: new policies quickly ensured that Socialist Realism - collective in production, public in manifestation and Communist in ideology - was to become the only acceptable art form. This volume is a timely and authoritative exploration of how modern art in all its forms flourished, was recognised, celebrated, and broken by implacable authority all within fifteen years.

But what exactly was the nature and extent of Russian interference in the campaign that led to the presidency of Donald J. Trump?
