Boris Yeltsin and Russia’s Democratic TransformationUniversity of Washington Press, 2006 - 345 pages Much has been written about Yeltsin, but rarely has it been as balanced and insightful as this book. It is a much-needed, well-deserved corrective to conventional wisdom that overlooks or sells short Yeltsin's basically positive international stage. - Strobe Talbott, president of the Brookings Institution and former U.S. deputy secretary of state |
