The Piratization of Russia by Marshall I Goldman

Examining the debacle of Russian reform, especially the emergence of oligarchs accused of using guile, intimidation and violence to reap riches, this text expertly explains Russia's problems and how they could have been avoided.

'A tale of the making of rich oligarchs in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union and of the mafia’s role in these reforms' - The Independent Review

'A clear, freewheeling [account of] ...the insider-dominated transfer of public property to a small number of "oligarchs."' - Foreign Affairs

'A testament to his longtime argument that Russia could have -- and should have -- done more to see to it that ordinary people were not left behind by the hastily envisioned new market economy.' - Moscow Times

Marshall I. Goldman is Davis Professor of Russian Economics, Emeritus at Wellsley College and Associate Director of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard, USA.
