From Library Journal

A senior research fellow of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a political prisoner under the Soviet regime of Brezhnev, Kagarlitsky has written a searing indictment of that regime's "democratic" successor under its two presidents. Sympathetic to the left but unsentimental about the Soviets, Kagarlitsky sees what has happened in Russia during the 1990s not as reform and even less as revolution. Rather it is a "restoration" of Russia to its pre-1917 status on the periphery of world capitalism. His arch villain is Yeltsin; in Russia's 1000-year history, "few of its rulers have contrived to do the country so much damage in so short a time." Corruption everywhere under a privileged few, the appalling Chechen war, a deluge of disasters is there a way out? Kagarlitsky believes there is, but first Russia must extract itself from the dead end of Western-style democracy. He is vague as to how a new revolution might occur; his style is dense and assumes a knowledge of Russian history. This passionate, pitiless analysis of post-Soviet Russia should be read by all interested in that country's present and future, especially the optimistic. For academic and larger general collections.
