Description: "Michael Kort revisits the turning points in Russia's modern history - from the fall of the old regime to the establishment of the Bolshevik dictatorship and Stalinist totalitarianism; from the reforms and counter-reforms of Kruschev and Brezhnev to the tumultuous years of change under Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin. This new edition brings the story up through the first decade of the 21st century and the unchallenged leadership of Vladimir Putin."--Publisher's description.
