About this book

There is little consensus about the nature of the political system that has emerged during the Putin presidency. This collection considers the issues arising in this connection, focusing more closely on institutions such as the presidency and the security police, and on the socioeconomic dimensions of political power.

Reviews

'The book is sure to be the standard history of the Yukos affair and as a result will be a major text on the development of Russia's politics and political economy for some time to come.'
