Why, he asks, have the Russians, who possess enormous natural, human, and intellectual resources and a great literary and scientific heritage, proven unable to realize their great potential? Obolonsky has undertaken the formidable task of reinterpreting Russian history from the Time of Troubles and the reign of Ivan the Terrible through the end of 2001.Eastern European studies (College Station, Tex.) ;no. 19.Political rightsRussiaPolitical rightsSoviet UnionRussiaPolitics and governmentSoviet UnionPolitics and governmentPolitical rightsPolitical rights947Obolonskii A.
