Russia under Yeltsin and Putin<br />
Neo-Liberal Autocracy<br />
Boris Kagarlitsky<br />
Translated from Russian by Renfrey<br />
Clarke<br />
Russia has undergone more major changes over the<br />
last 100 years than has almost any other country.<br />
Looking in detail at the nature of Russian society and<br />
politics since 1990, Kagarlitsky offers an introductory<br />
political analysis of the major political and<br />
economic developments that took place under<br />
President Yeltsin and the legacy he bequeathed to<br />
his successor Putin. He focuses on the role of the<br />
media in post-Soviet Russia, corporate structures<br />
and their influence on social conflict, the formation<br />
of the oligarchy, and the role of the left in modern<br />
Russia.<br />
Boris Kagarlitsky is a senior research fellow in the Institute<br />
for Comparative Political Studies, the Russian Academy of<br />
Sciences.<br />
