Explaining the causes and the meaning of the numerous twists and turns in contemporary Russian history, he offers a vivid insider's view of a country through one of its most trying and often tragic periods. Today, he cautions, Russia stands at a turning point - politically, economically and socially - its situation strikingly reminiscent of the Russian Empire in its final years. For the Russian Federation to avoid a similar demise, it must learn the lessons of its own history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dmitri Trenin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509527664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509527663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Dmitri Trenin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199108468991,"sku":"9781509527663","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95a3f07c-1f6a-4b33-9083-fa628d89a30c.jpg?v=1727925063","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/russia-dmitri-trenin-9781509527663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
