Book Review: In From the Cold
In From the Cold: The Rise of Russian Capitalism Edited by Peter Westin
(London Publishing Partnership/Aton, 2012)
It has been difficult to write a book about business or financial matters in post-Soviet Russia because the pace of change has been so great that any book would be out of date before it went on sale. Even an historical account such as In From the Cold has to face this problem, as its separate chapters by various authors were finished in October 2011, almost half a year before Vladimir Putin’s re-election as Russian President, something which has had a significant effect on the business climate.
