Russian oligarchs (emerging conglomerates) that we came to know through the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Among those in the news recently is Abramovich, owner of the prestigious soccer club Chelsea.

I too was shocked by the news that economic sanctions have frozen Abramovich's assets and that Chelsea will not be able to operate as a result.

This book is a work that will give you an insight into who Mr. Abramovich is and why he became the owner of Chelsea.

This book is about the situation in Iraq after the invasion, so it says very little about why the Iraq War happened and how it went. If you want to learn about the Iraq War itself, I recommend reading other books. However, it is a very useful work to think about what can happen after an armed invasion.

この作品は冷戦末期のソ連とアメリカの軍拡競争、そしてソ連の生物兵器開発をめぐるノンフィクションです。

この本も強烈です。

米ソ核軍拡競争の最終段階とも言えるゴルバチョフ、レーガンの外交交渉は読んでいて非常に緊迫したものを感じました。さすがピュリツァー賞受賞作品。読ませます。語りに引き込まれてしまいました。

大国間の駆け引きを目の当たりにできる名著です。冷戦末期からソ連崩壊への時代背景を知るのにもおすすめの作品です。

The book traces Gorbachev's enigmatic life from 1931, when he was born, to after the collapse of the Soviet Union, along with its historical background.

Gorbachev's own life is very interesting, but what I really appreciate about this book is the historical background of the Soviet Union. In particular, I found the process of the Soviet Union's collapse to be so confusing that I wanted to wrap my head around it. It shows how the Soviet Union was lost in a maze with no way out.

Oligarchs have emerged through the turmoil following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

As we have seen in the books we have looked at, the Russian people were becoming increasingly angry at their arrogance.

And the composition of Putin fighting against such oligarchs. This was one of the main reasons for the public's support.

However, the book tells what the reality of the situation was and what its side effects were.

This work is recommended to learn more about the relationship between Putin and oligarchs that led to the annexation of Crimea and the current invasion of Ukraine.

Despite the rather radical title, "The Robbed Russian Economy," this book is not a conspiracy theory.

This book will be a work by an expert on the Russian economy. When you read this book, you will understand the meaning of the title very well. You will learn about the situation in Russia, which can only be described as "the Russian economy that has been robbed". It is quite shocking.

This book was written in 1995, but in terms of understanding the situation in Eastern Europe at that time, it is a work that is not at all faded even if you read it now.

The many photographs make it easy to visualize what the site looks like, and the compact size of the new book is very much appreciated.

We recommend this work to learn about the economic situation in Eastern Europe, which is not often known.

You can see how each Eastern European country has its own unique culture and economic situation. It was very interesting to read and compare each of them.

After reading this book I am afraid of Russia anyway.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the struggle for interests and the deterioration of security were far greater than I had imagined.

Although this book was written a long time ago, in 1994, Russia today is basically connected to the political and economic situation at that time. It was a reality that changed my view of Russia.

We are keenly aware that Russia's political economy is not as simple as "communism collapsed and went to capitalism.
