THE RUSSIAN PATH - DMITRY TRAVIN VLADIMIR GELMA...

The politico-economic reforms launched during the late twentieth century in post-Soviet Russia
have led to contradictory and ambiguous results. The new economic environment and mode of
governance that emerged have been subjected to serious criticism. What were the causes of these
developments? Were they unavoidable for Russia due to specific factors grounded in the
country's previous experiences? Or were they an intended result of actions taken by the leaders
of the country during the last few decades? The authors of this book share neither a
deterministic approach  which implies that Russia is bound to fail because of the nature of its
economic and political evolution  nor a voluntarist approach  which implies that these failures
were caused only by the incompetence and or malicious intentions of its leaders. Instead  this
study offers a different framework for the analysis of political and economic developments in
present-day Russia. It is based on four 'i's-ideas  interests  institutions  and illusions.
