Sommario/riassunto

Through compelling and insightful analysis of the Russian case, this book explores the role that social welfare plays in regime transitions. It



examines the role that gender and social welfare has played in Russia's post-communist political evolution from Yeltsin's assumption of the presidency to Putin's return for a third term as president in 2012.
