Extract

Human Rights in Russia. By Jonathan Weiler. Boulder, CO: Lynne Rienner, 2004. 165p. $49.95.

This is a revisionist book. Jonathan Weiler breaks with the fundamentally positive vision of post-Soviet “reform and democratization” that prevailed among Western analysts of Russia during perestroika and the Yeltsin years, and still dominates American and European governments' policy.
