About This Book

"Yegor Gaidar, one of Russia's first post-Soviet prime ministers and principal architect of its historic transformation to a market economy, here presents his account of governing in the tumultuous early 1990s.

Though still in his forties, Gaidar has already played a pivotal role in contemporary Russian political history, championing the cause of dramatic economic reform, aggressive privatization of state enterprises, and painful fiscal discipline in the face of widespread popular resistance."--BOOK JACKET.

"Gaidar remains active in Russian politics, having formed his own political party, Russia's Democratic Choice. In this book, he brings his story through Yeltsin's cliffhanger re-election in 1996, and assesses the still-precarious state of the market reforms and democratic politics."--BOOK JACKET.
