The Challenge of Revolution: Contemporary Russia in Historical Perspective
Vladimir Mau and Irina Starodubrovskaia
Abstract
Russia's current travails should be construed as a revolution in progress. This book analyses the causes, processes, and consequences of Russia's post‐communist development, and argues that it exemplifies a general theory of revolution based on the concept of the ‘weak state’, sharing the same logic as the great revolutions of the past.
Keywords: Russia, theory of revolution, weak states
