Reviews

The editors observe that there has been no comprehensive and systematic analysis of the Russian economy gathered in one volume (pp. 1-2). This book is intended to fill that gap. It succeeds. * Philip Hanson, International Affairs * It brings together a vast amount of information presented by authoritative authors in an informative and accessible way. Chapters can be recommended to students at different levels and the ample references to English and Russian sources will make this a very useful reference book not only on the Russian economy but also on related topics such as regions and social problems. * David Lane, Slavonic and East European Review *
