Cuatro lecciones sobre la Rusia contemporánea

This work includes the content of four conferences by Carlos Taibo related to Russia in the 20th and 21st centuries. In its pages, the nature of the Soviet system, the changes that occurred in the years of Gorbachev's perestroika, the internal panorama of independent Russia and the fabric of foreign relations of the country are considered. The corresponding texts, with a frank pedagogical and popularizing vocation, configure introductions to these four issues and provide singularly useful material for debate in order to deal with some of the main problems that are revealed in Russia and, moreover, in the entire planet. Product of a wide trajectory of publications, they arise under the protection of movements that make the contestation of power, that of capital in all its forms and that of repression a fundamental element.
