商品簡介
By analyzing the military's participation in every major political upheaval from the Bolshevik Revolution to post-Soviet Russia, Barylski (political science, U. of Southern Florida) adds to the understanding of the military's role in the contemporary transition period in Russian politics from the 1991 double coup to the current shaky Yeltsin-Lebed alliance. A long-term concern for democratization is the lack of checks on the president's military command powers. Passing reference is made to the restless, unpaid armed forces.
