"The rate of annual population loss has been more than double the rate of loss during the period of Stalinist repression and mass famine in the first half of the 1930s.... There has been nothing like this in the thousand-year history of Russia."
Minister of Foreign Economic Relations in Boris Yeltsin's first cabinet, the only member of the Russian government to resign in protest of the abolition of the Parliment and the Constitution in 1993, Doctor of Economics Sergei Glazyev looks at post-Soviet policy in Russia from a unique vantage point. He is confident that Russia can recover, but only if the "reform" policies of the 1990s are rejected as the instrument of national castrophe that they have been. Glazyev's book is must reading for an understanding of what was wrong from the outset, after the Soviet Union broke up.
