About this book

"The complex nature of the Russian experience of political, social, and economic change had yet to be explained as a long-term legacy analysis until now, with the linkages presented in this study of the legacies and structures that have defied attempts at reform by the Bolsheviks, the Soviets, and the modern Republicans.

A clearer understanding of the influences the Imperial legacy brings to the Russian transformation enables the student of political transition an opportunity to contextualize the strong linkages of historical governance structures with the one hundred years of Bolshevik and Soviet system capture and the struggles of transofrmation faced by the government and people of Russia today"--Back cover.
