The New Russia
Mikhail Gorbachev
A penetrating analysis of Russia and the West by one of the world’s
greatest statesmen.
After years of rapprochement,
the relationship between Russia
and the West is more strained
now than it has ever been in the
past 25 years. In this new work,
Russia’s elder statesman offers a
profound analysis of the changing
nature of post-Soviet Russia, from
the economic reforms and war in
Chechnya in the 1990s to Putin’s
presidency and growing tensions
with the West over Ukraine.
This book represents the
summation of Gorbachev’s
thinking on the course that Russia
has taken since 1991 and stands as
a testament to one of the greatest
and most influential statesmen of
the 20th century.
