In this thoughtful monograph, the author traces how Russia's character has shaped its evolution, with a particular focus on how the ruling "elite" has led the country from one disaster to another. An examination of Russia's ruling circles since Lenin, the leadership selection process, and social and psychological factors in force, reveals how and why Putin ascended to power, and how his policies are likely to shape the country's future.
