Features: The Russian social transition experiment and its enormous socio-economic costs have attracted widespread attention from giants, making it a hot topic in international discussions. There are countless commentaries and reflective articles from scholars around the world. What is particularly important is that the ten-year,, and intense struggle process of Russia has left us with a wealth of living materials. Limited by space, this book cannot, like historical research, reflect every aspect of this process in a multi-volume format down to the smallest details. Instead, it aims to provide readers with a clear and objective understanding by taking a broad perspective. Therefore, this book focuses on analyzing the internal logic and inevitability of the Russian social transition, revealing its causes and effects, and drawing lessons that can be learned from it. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the book. To achieve these goals, it is not only necessary to collect a large amount of primary materials, gain insight into the entire process of Russia's development over the past decade, and be familiar with various academic viewpoints, but also to possess a considerable level of comprehensive analytical and theoretical abstracting abilities. Fortunately, every member of the author collective has about 20 years of research experience on the history of the Soviet Union and Russia. They have not only long followed and studied the Soviet Union's dramatic changes and the Russian social transition process but have also personally experienced many major historical events within it. This rare academic heritage and scholarly quality provide a solid guarantee for the quality of this book.
