Description:... The economic power of the Russian state has declined to a point where it is no longer able to perform its basic function – maintaining law and order and providing social services.  This innovative book proposes that the inherent weaknesses of the post-reform Russian state arose from the manner in which the Soviet Union dissolved combined with the critical role played by President Yeltsin.
