Russia's Revolution: Essays, 1989-2006
Leon Aron
In a collection of essays, Leon Aron paints a picture of the new Russia and its political, economic and cultural transformation since the waning days of Communism. Mr. Aron reviews recent Russian history: Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika; the fall of the Soviet Union and new economic and political systems under Boris Yeltsin; and the current day's increasing government control under Vladimir Putin.
Leon Aron is a resident scholar and director of Russian studies at the American Enterprise Institute. He was born in Moscow and immigrated to the United States in 1978.
