Author Description

"Main Concepts of Russian Politics addresses key concepts of political life in Russia. Specific attention is given to how Russian terms relate to their English-language equivalents. This book also discusses current problems within Russian politics with the help of conceptual apparatus taken from political theory classics. Thus, this book is a rapprochement of political theory and Russian studies. It shows how familiar classics fare in an unfamiliar cultural context, and how unfamiliar concerns of another culture can be made understandable with the help of these classic works."--Jacket.
