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 1509527672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509527670\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 Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.70h x 4.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Dmitri Trenin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986908741887,"sku":"9781509527670","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80c39d3c-5655-4a2a-8759-cc5732d9fa19.jpg?v=1683285876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/russia-dmitri-trenin-9781509527670","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
