Concise and compelling, this account of Russia's modern history offers a new perspective on some of the most important events of the past century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile studying in communist Poland during the early 1980s, Gavrilov witnessed firsthand the hidden commercial relationship between Soviet Russia and the US. Now, after a decade of research, using US Congressional Reports and documents from the Russian Trade Delegations in London, New York, and Washington, D.C., Gavrilov examines the pecuniary link between communist governments and Western firms, bringing together a cohesive account of the hidden side of history through the commercial deals which occurred behind diplomatic and political events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the Soviets utilized the communist system to eliminate domestic entrepreneurs and reorganize the Russian economy into government-controlled industrial trusts, the grandest Western firms-many of them military contractors-assumed leading roles in the Soviet economy and were awarded massive contracts under succeeding 5-Year Plans. Not an expert on the Russia-former Soviet Union? No problem. Everything is explained clearly and chronologically with explanatory footnotes and complete citations-a book for novices and experts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriela Gavrilov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8126943017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788126943012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atlantic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 2.25d","brand":"Gabriela Gavrilov","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48801185136895,"sku":"9788126943012","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/us-russian-commercial-relations-1763-1933-gabriela-gavrilov-9788126943012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
