Books by Oleg Kharkhordin

Marxism was the loser in the Cold War, but Oleg Kharkhordin is not surprised that liberal democracy failed to take root after the Soviet Union's dissolution. He suggests that Russians find a path to freedom by looking to the classical tradition of republican self-government and civic engagement already familiar from their history and literature.

Main Concepts of Russian Politics addresses key concepts of political life in Russia. Specific attention is given to how Russian terms relate to their English-language equivalents.
