Abstract

After a highly successful series of revisions of his original Gorbachev in Power (1990), which ultimately became After Gorbachev (1993 and 1994), Stephen White has written an entirely new book that takes stock of contemporary Russian politics after nearly a decade of postcommunist experience. He draws upon a mass of new and newly available data, including archival materials, survey data, memoirs and peri- odical literature, interviews with political principals, and a series of Russian elections at the national, regional, and local level. White has written a very solid companion to any course on the structure, dynamics, and economic and social conse- quences of Russian and, to a certain extent, postcommunist politics.
