Post-Soviet Text

[Vladimir Shatsev]

Dear Frederick White,

If I were you I would like to read with the students SKAZKI DLIA IDIOTOV by 
Boris Akunin. The most interesting tale is PROBLEMA 2000.It is so called new 
Russians in   2000 and in 1900.You will really enjoy it.

>Dear Frederick White,
>I've used recently, with pretty good success, Kotkin's Armageddon Averted, 
>which starts, roughly, in 1974 and carries forth until the Putin era. The

>students.

>Armageddon is short, the prose is vigorous and clear -- even students 
>befuddled by Florida public education could get it. It got the nod from my 
>colleagues in Political Science and Economics... It makes a cogent and 
>convincing narrative of twenty years of tumult. A useful set of landmarks 
>for comprehending twenty years of history.

>I liked it.

>wars,
>etc.  Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
