    Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 28.00

  • Russia's Economyby Charles Wolf; Thomas Lang

    RAND Corporation 2006; US$ 9.95

    The good news and the bad news about the Russian economy’s movement toward becoming a market economy are both abundant; however, the Russian economy can still-16 years after the Soviet Union’s demise-be appropriately characterized as transitional. It is the second largest of the economies considered to be transitional (China is the largest),... more...

  • Shostakovich and Stalinby Solomon Volkov

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2007; US$ 30.00

    ?Music illuminates a person and provides him with his last hope; even Stalin, a butcher, knew that.?

But that same singularity became a liability a decade later under the totalitarian rule of Stalin, with his unpredictable... more...
