Bertil Nygren argues that after seven years in power the results of this strategy are beginning to show, providing comprehensive coverage of Russia's relations to the former Soviet territories of the CIS countries, including Ukraine and Putin's role in the events surrounding the 'Orange Revolution', Belarus and the attempts to form a union, the Caucasus and Russia's role in the various conflicts, Moldova, including the Transdniester conflict, and Central Asia. This is an important subject for Russian studies experts and international relations scholars in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bertil Nygren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415590450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415590457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.73d","brand":"Bertil Nygren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064936640767,"sku":"9780415590457","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5db172d0-1743-4178-889d-4ad0f6c35dab.jpg?v=1768672038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rebuilding-of-greater-russia-bertil-nygren-9780415590457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
