"The author has put together an excellent textbook on Russia's new
geography. I can, without hesitation, recommend this book for
students of the Russian realm." Olga Medvedkov, Wittenberg

'Now, we have a single author book which brings together the
research of systematic specialists into a coherent whole which
interprets the rapidly changing world of the Russian Federation for
an undergraduate audience...and reminds Russian specialists that
there is a geographical element to the "transition" and geographers
that the post-communist world is a rich field for geographical
wnquiry.' Dr. Judith Pallot, School of Geography, University of
