The end of communism and breakup of the Soviet Union was a time of euphoria around the world, but Russia today is violently anti-American and dangerously nationalistic. So how did we go from the promise of those heady days to the autocratic police state of Putin's new Russia? The Invention of Russia is a breathtakingly ambitious book that reaches back to the darkest days of the Cold War to tell the story of the fight for the soul of a nation. With the deep insight only possible of a native son, Arkady Ostrovsky introduces us to the propagandists, oligarchs and fixers who have set Russia's course since the collapse of the Soviet Union, inventing a new and more ominous identity for a country where ideas are all too often wielded like a cudgel"--PRovided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 947.086 Os Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 947.086 Os Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 947.086 Os Checked In Add Copy to MyList
