Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the 1980s the Soviet scientific establishment had become the largest in the world, but very little of its history was known in the West. What has been needed for many years in order to fill that gap in our knowledge is a history of Russian and Soviet science written for the educated person who would like to read one book on the subject. This book has been written for that reader. The history of Russian and Soviet science is a story of remarkable achievements and frustrating failures. That history is presented here in a comprehensive form, and explained in terms of its social and political context. Major sections include the tsarist period, the impact of the Russian Revolution, the relationship between science and Soviet society, and the strengths and weaknesses of individual scientific disciplines. The book also discusses the changes brought to science in Russia and other republics by the collapse of communism in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accessible to students, tourists and general readers alike, this book provides a broad overview of Russian history since the ninth century. Paul Bushkovitch emphasizes the enormous changes in the understanding of Russian history resulting from the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. Since then, new material has come to light on the history of the Soviet era, providing new conceptions of Russia's pre-revolutionary past. The book traces not only the political history of Russia, but also developments in its literature, art and science. Bushkovitch describes well-known cultural figures, such as Chekhov, Tolstoy and Mendeleev, in their institutional and historical contexts. Though the 1917 revolution, the resulting Soviet system and the Cold War were a crucial part of Russian and world history, Bushkovitch presents earlier developments as more than just a prelude to Bolshevik power.

Book excerpt: 'Despite economic woes and murky data, global investors are pouring in. Is the bubble set to burst?' was the question posed by Business Week in March 1997. Not according to current data which sees an ever-growing river of foreign cash flowing into Moscow. But how long can it last? Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and the CIS have become a hunting ground for business and management adventurers. Management consultants, business people, educators, and economists have rushed to do business in the New Russia, taking advantage of the huge sums of money poured into Russia by global investors. But dealing with a fragile, volatile and unpredictable economy is only part of the difficulty facing those wishing to take advantage of a bargain-priced if risky marketplace. Westerners are often faced with serious and sometimes intractable communication problems. The differences in economic and political systems, infrastructures, national and business cultures and managerial attitudes and habits present difficulties not previously encountered elsewhere. To achieve long term success in this part of the world it is essential, perhaps more than anywhere, to build relationships. This means genuinely understanding the past as well as the present. To understand Russia today it is crucial to understand where it has come from. Only then can you have a stake in its future. In order to have any hope of meeting long-term business objectives in this most restless of countries, it is essential to build intense interpersonal relationships. Knowing how to do this requires an informed understanding of Russia's past as well as an appreciation of the complexities of the present transition to market-economy conditions and insights into the Russian business mentality. Without such knowledge, all forms of management cooperation with Russia are placed under severe stress. Dealing with the New Russia helps to demistify the boundaries which must be crossed by focusing on: * Russian and their assumptions about and attitudes to the West * the new-style Russian manager/business executive * the skills needed to initiate and develop a business relationship with Russians * the Russian approach to business negotiation Extensively researched, this practical, accessible and informative book, which includes a glossary of Russian management expressions, will be invaluable for all those contemplating, or embarking on, major involvement with their Russian partners.
