Vladimir Gel man and his colleagues add enormous depth to our picture of Russia 's troubled transition by systematically comparing dynamics and results across the regions of the country. This study tells us all more, not only about the Russian experience, but about regime change in the contemporary world.--Timothy Colton

Gel'man tweaks the existing theories to bring them into better line with Russian reality and provides a useful frameworker for telling the story of political change during the last 15 years. The case studies are the most coherent histories of the regions that have come along yet.
