Through the presentation of 14 revised and updated chapters, Herspring (political science, Kansas State U.) provides a thematic portrait of Russia's social, political, and economic changes during the first four years of the presidency of Vladimir Putin. Although not everything in the book is directly related to Putin's actions, he remains the overarching figure in the individual thematic discussions of change in Russia's political structures, media, culture, health and the environment, the economy, agriculture, military reform, relationship with the regions, wars in Chechnya, and foreign policy.
