{"product_id":"9789811227974","title":"Life and Work in Post-soviet Russia","description":"\u003cp\u003eLife and Work in Post-Soviet Russia revolves around the professional and personal experience of living and working in Moscow of a Singapore diplomat, beginning in the aftermath of the USSR's collapse and ending in the first decade-and-a-half of this century.The book seeks to provide readers with glimpses of life in Moscow and Russia in the mid-1990s, as well as in the early years of this century. It deals with not only the sociopolitical and economic challenges of Russia's post-Soviet leaders, but also those facing the man-in-the-street. That the man-in-the-street had to personally bear the brunt of the momentous changes in post-Soviet Russia's rush to reforms is made plain in the book, and not so much the trials and tribulations of his leaders.Life and Work in Post-Soviet Russia also looks to broaden the outlook of Singaporeans, in the first instance, and non-Russians, in general, about Russia, a country which has been portrayed in a negative light by most of the Anglo-Saxon and Western media.This book also gives readers some insight into Singapore's relations with Russia, deals with issues from a personal standpoint without any attempt to inject political science theories into its analyses, and concludes with some thoughts on its future role in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Pub Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48223113838827,"sku":"EB_SS1200_D21-03_SIMS","price":40.33,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9789811227974-1.jpg?v=1783848225","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9789811227974","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
