A compelling and provocative account of Russian postcommunist
development. Captures as no other book the dramatic character of
the transformation in Russia.--Lilia Shevtsova, Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace, Moscow
A critical analysis of the Yeltsin years in power. It is a finely
argued and frequently provocative account that deserves a
respectful hearing.--Dusko Doder, The Nation
Reddaway and Glinski have written a very important and impressive
book the first comprehensive account of post-Soviet Russia. With a
clear voice and a bold thesis, they present a well written,
thoughtfully argued and provocative study of this period. No doubt,
this book will become one of the most important statements about
the Yeltsin era written in the West.--Michael McFaul, Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace"
In a remarkable book, "The Tragedy of Russia s Reforms: Market
Bolshevism against Democracy, " American political scientist Peter
Reddaway and Russian scholar Dmitri Glinski capture one s attention
by introducing a socio political lexicon to clarify [a] new period
[in Russia]. Instead of a Western style political and civic nation
state, today s Russian state has become something we haven t seen
before: an exclusive corporate entity, the property of the state
apparatus, competing against similar but much weaker entities in an
attempt to monopolize the coercion and protection market."
