Sinopsis
Today's Russia, also known as the Russian Federation, is often viewed as less powerful than the Soviet Union of the past. When stacked against other major nations in the present, however, the new Russia is a formidable if flawed player. Russia: What Everyone Needs to Know(R) provides fundamental information about the origins, evolution, and current affairs of the Russian state and society., The story begins with Russia's geographic endowment, proceeds through its experiences as a kingdom and empire, and continues through the USSR's three-quarters of a century, and finally the shocking breakup of that regime a generation ago. Chapters on the failed attempt to reform Communism under Mikhail Gorbachev, the halting steps toward democratization under Boris Yeltsin, and the entrenchment of central controls under Vladimir Putin bring the reader into the contemporary scene and to headline-grabbing events such as Russia's annexation of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine and its military intervention

Críticas
Timothy J. Colton's timely book provides an insightful analysis of the country's long history ... in his analysis ... Colton offers a brief yet rich discussion of a wide array of issues. (Europe-Asia Studies)
Timothy J. Colton's new book, Russia: What Everyone Needs to Know, lives up to its ambitious subtitle and offers one of the most comprehensive short introductions to Russian history and today's political situation available... Colton's book is an excellent choice for readers who want to know why Russia is the way it is, but are also interested in facts and details rather than generalisations. It is unique to find such a well-researched and informative work that is also accessible to non-experts. (April Curtis, LSE Review of Books)
This book offers an insightful look at how place and past shape a nation and how one man ― at the right time and place and with the right moves ― can change its course. (Vikas Datta, New Kerala)
