The Dynamics of Russian Politics Putin's

In May 2000, President Vladimir Putin created seven federal okrugs to impose greater federal control over Russia's regions. Volume II of The Dynamics of Russian Politics examines the impact of these reforms on Russia's main political institutions; the increasingly assertive business community; and the defense, police, and security ministries.
