A prominent Russian politician who served as prime minister, foreign minister and head of foreign intelligence during the 1990s, Yevgeny Primakov has been part of all vital decisions on Russian domestic and foreign policy for the past two decades. His memoir is both an insider's account of post-perestroika Russian politics and a statement from a representative of the enlightened Russian establishment on their nation's relationship with America and the world. Providing behind-the-scenes information about government shake-ups in Moscow, the history of speculative privatisations, the formation of the new political and economic oligarchy and much more, this book will be an invaluable aid to political analysts, historians and anyone interested in Russia's recent past and future plans.
