Especially in light of the relatively recent dissoultion of the Soviet Union it is becoming necessary to understand the former-Soviet Union in its modern context as the Commwealth of Independent States. This book provides a good overview of Russian history from the founding of the Russian nation until today. Also, a portion of the book is devoted to an effective overview of the minorities and republics outside of Russia from Estonia to Tajikistan. Much like the other books in this series, an excellent introduction meant to whet your appetite for further exploration into the subject matter.
