Description
Summary:Writing from the perspective of the end of the Yeltsin era and the dawn of Putin's ascendancy, the author reveals what really happened in Russia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the complicity of U.S. policy in a great human tragedy. Drawing on many years of studying and living in Russia, he shows that what American officials and other experts call "reform" has for most Russians been a catastrophe and a foreign policy disaster for the United States: the unprecedented demodernization and destabilization of a fully nuclearized twentieth-century country.
