Summary
The focus of this monograph is what he sees as Russia's current identity crisis. In the introduction the author explains that the resolution of this crisis of national self-consciousness is closely linked with Russia's need to define a place for itself in the new post-Cold War world. He insists that the new Russia differs fundamentally from the Soviet Union or the old Russian Empire. It has new borders, a new culture, and a new spiritual-ideological framework. However, the Russian people have still not resolved a number of central questions, such as what type of political and economic system the country should adopt and what type of relationship they want with outside world. (Adapted from Publisher's Abstract).
