The Second Russian Revolution: The Rise of Putin - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The USSR was only months from complete chaos and bankruptcy when Chairman Gorbachov struck a deal with western businessmen, the Russian Mafia and the United States to restructure and re-finance Russia thus creating a stable political-economic system enabling it to rejoin the western trading community. Vladimir Putin is presented as a low level KGB officer in the process of becoming Boris Yeltsin's key associate and future successor; his clever adaptiveness is presented through the eyes of others as they learn who he is and how he thinks.
