The strong state in Russia development and crisis Tsygankov, Andrei P. 1964- creator author. text bibliography Electronic books. History enk 2014 monographic eng remote 1 online resource Tsygankov provides a succinct account of the major periods in evolution of Russia's strong state construct by reviewing the external and internal contexts of its emergence, progression, and fall in Muscovy, St. Petersburg, Soviet Union, and post-Soviet Russia with an emphasis on the last two decades.
