Synopses & Reviews
This unique compilation on the new Eurasian states of the former Soviet Union introduces the little-known, yet strategic heartland of the world. Some of the information included has never before been published; none has been assembled in such a manner in which interrelationships of culture, history, diplomacy, economics, and defense are so clear and understandable. This volume reveals the new Eurasia with which the world must live for the foreseeable future.
Synopsis
"An important corrective for those who think that Russia is the former Soviet Union and that the former Soviet Union was Russia....The future of Russia depends, to a very high extent, on what happens in the former non-Russian Soviet republics. Twining's volume provides the needed insights and knowledge." Zbigniew Brzezinski
Description
