Description
As the Soviet Union undergoes its greatest changes since 1917, existing geographies of the USSR are rendered hopelessly out of date. This integrated text provides students with a well-written, informed and authoritative text on the transformed geography of the USSR that confronts its current problems and their likely future course. It is also one of the first books, appropriately in the context, to adopt the approach to the "new" regional geography, with its more critical, relevant and stimulating framework of ideas that will continually challenge students.
