Features: The author, Mikhail Deryagin, is both a scholar and a government official, having served as an advisor to the premiers of previous governments. His dual identity gives him deeper and more authentic insights into Russia's reforms compared to others. The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, the author very elaborately discusses Russia's reforms, pointing out that while the reforms brought vitality to Russian society, they also had many negative impacts. At the same time, he strongly criticizes the destructive influence of the bureaucratic elite on Russia's politics and economy. Subsequently, in the second and third parts, the author passionately proposes his own vision for Russia's development, with every word revealing his patriotic fervor. He believes that the Russian people are a great nation and that Russia has the strength to rise again as a world power.
