Profiling the Putin team, including contingents from the security services and pro-market economic "reformers", Pirani argues that the economic growth it presided over during the oil boom was one-sided. The gap between rich and poor widened. Now the boom is over, inequalities will multiply further. As well as explaining Russia's economic trajectory, the book provides a unique account of the social movements that are working against an increasingly authoritarian government to change Russia for the better.This is the perfect introduction for undergraduates approaching Russia for the first time and those who wish to know how Russia will change during the economic crisis. 606 $aEconomic development$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xEconomic conditions$y1991- 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xPolitics and government$y1991- 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a338.947009049 700 $aPirani$b Simon$0857023 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818003503321 996 $aChange in Putin's Russia$94039012 997 $aUNINA
