EIGHT BOOKS ON MODERN POLITICS
Keywords:
politics, Russia, protests, post-Communist countries, Russian politicsAbstract
Mini-reviews are extremely brief reviews of recently published English-language books about Russian (and not only) politics, with ratings given to each of them based on the ten-point scale (1 - minimum, 10 - maximum). Reviews are not written according to the canons of academic style, they are subjective and passionate, but this is the specifics of the genre. After all, we often form our opinion about films, hotels or restaurants from reviews of approximately the same format: now it is time for academic books.DOI: 10.17072/2218-1067-2019-2-119-121References
