<br/><br/> Whether it is the conflict in Syria, the Winter Olympics in Sochi or the crisis in Ukraine, the drama of Russia dominates the headlines, yet the political realities of contemporary Russia are poorly understood by Western observers and policy-makers. In this book, Andrew Monaghan offers a robust critique of the mainstream view of Russia, reflecting on the evolution of Russian studies since the end of the Cold War. He goes on to frame the current situation, placing the Ukraine crisis in a long-term context and looking at the ongoing evolution in Russian domestic politics.
