In contrast, Padma Desai's conversations with influential, intelligent participants and observers providethe reader with a broad, nuanced view of what has and has not happened in the last fourteen years, and why. Conversations from Russia will thus serve as a much-needed reference volume, both for academics who study Russia and for laypeople who only have vague perceptions of what has occurred inRussia since 606 $aPrivatization$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xEconomic policy$y1991- 607 $aSoviet Union$xEconomic policy$y1986-1991 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPrivatization 676 $a338.947/009/049 700 $aDesai$b Padma$0119417 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465742803321 996 $aConversations on Russia$92196532 997 $aUNINA
