Russian Politics and Society

Since it was first published in 1993, Richard Sakwa's Russian Politics and Society has become the most comprehensive and indispensable guide to contemporary Russian politics.

It is a key introduction to the subject, providing a readable account of Russian politics from the fall of communism to Vladimir Putin's administration. Using clear examples, maps, election results and recommendations for further reading, this is an ideal textbook for students.

Richard Sakwa is Professor of Russian and European Politics at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
