5.0

so i don’t think many people would consider this a riveting beach/pool honeymoon read but to be fair many people have not spent their own time in russia or gotten degrees in russian and history and political science

anyways. kind of embarrassing to say how riveted i was by some white guy doing capitalism in russia but man. this was an excellent read. i’ll probably go off and do my own fact checking after this but a lot of this happened like. almost a decade before i got invested in politics at all, let alone russian politics, and it really does help fill in the gaps for me
