Russia's Path from Gorbachev to Putin pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Over the past few years, many of the former Communist-rule countries of Central and Eastern Europe have taken a steady path toward becoming more or less normal capitalist countries - with Poland and Hungary cases in point. Russia, on the other hand, has experienced extreme difficulties in its attempted transition to capitalism and democracy. The pursuit of Western-endorsed policies of privatization, liberalization, and fiscal austerity have brought Russia growing crime and corruption, a distorted economy, and a trend toward authoritarian government. In their 1996 book for Routledge - "Revolution from Above" - David Kotz and Fred Weir shed light on the underlying reasons for the 1991 demise of the Soviet Union and the severe economic and political problems of the immediate post-Soviet period in Russia. In this new book, the authors bring the story up to date, showing how continuing misguided policies have entrenched a group of super-rich oligarchs, in alliance with an all-powerful presidency, while further undermining Russia's economic potential. New topics include the origins of the oligarchs, the deep penetration of crime and corruption in Russian society, the financial crisis that almost destroyed the regime, the mixed blessing of an oil-dependent economy, the atrophy of democracy in the Yeltsin years, and the recentralization of political power in the Kremlin under President Putin.

本书讲述了一个观点:即惯常所谓的下层民众对苏联体制失去信心导致苏联崩溃的解释无法得到历史证据的支持,而来自“党+国精英”为将个人利益合法化和扩大化而对体制的背叛,才是苏联崩溃的主要动力。 在书中,他认为改革前的苏联确实存在体制和机制上的漏洞,其经济增长...
评分《二手时间》、《大国的崩溃》和《来自上层的革命》这三本书分别从不同的视角阐述了苏联解体的历史。其中《二手时间》是一部文学作品,作者采用底层视觉,通过采访记录普通民众的声音来展现苏联解体对他们生活的影响;《大国的崩溃》则采用高层视角,通过解密的高层档案将叙事...
评分文章开头就驳斥了对苏联崩溃的四种看法:经济崩溃、人民反抗、外国压力以及高层破坏,并提出了一个新观点:苏联崩溃源自苏联党-国精英的背叛。由于苏联共产党对政府的渗透,采取严密的自上而下的控制,因此苏联成为了一个名副其实的党-国。但是在这种制度之下,个人(无论级别...
评分读这本书,印象最深的一句话是当时处在崩溃边缘的苏联之高层官员说的:我是共产党员但不是共产主义者! 小的时候因为没有被选为少先队小号手而沮丧了很久,长大了之后才觉得荣誉是可以用物质来支配的。单纯的世界单纯的人来爱护,污浊的世界当然是污浊的人去维护。
评分对苏联解体原因的阐释的确令人耳目一新,但还是有些方面需要再细究。 书中作者认为是党国精英最终葬送了苏联,通过列举一些党内知名人物最后演变为改革中的大资本家,并强调了在解体前,这样的现象就已经存在。但这种现象究竟占了多大比例,多少党国精英最后在苏联的解体中分到...
