商品簡介
The path from the Soviet Union to Russia was not easy. Most segments of the post-Soviet Union era had wars, or at least significant upheaval, and spots of ethnic conflict still remain. These thirteen essays track the histories of conflicting ethnic territorial claims, including views from Kishinev and Tiraspol, Nagorno Karabakh as a hostage for unfavorable power balance and internal political stagnation, Georgia's attempts at reasonable strategies, Abkhazia, Russia's "Rubicon," the Caucasus, a fact-finding mission in Georgia, bloody peacemaking in the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the "tunnel at the end of the line."
