Politics in Russia

by Thomas F. Remington

Highly regarded for its comprehensive coverage, up-to-date scholarship, and comparative framework, Politics in Russia is an authoritative overview of Russia’s contemporary political system and its recent evolution. Leading area specialist Thomas Remington focuses on four areas of change–state structure, regime change, economic transformation, and identity–to offer a context for analyzing the transition from the Soviet to the post-Soviet era. Consistently emphasizing the intersection of politics and economics and the tension between authoritarian and democratic trends, this text helps students explore the complexities and ambiguities of Russian politics today.

i actually only have the third edition and i need to re-read it becausei don't know shit about russian politics. it's good but dense and complicated. one might say boring, if they were a pussy.

It was a little out of date already, since the passing of the most recent presidential election happened after publication, but still a good textbook overall.
