In this path-breaking history, Tobias Rupprecht offers a revisionist account of Russia's post-Soviet marketisation from the perspective of the advisors and ministers who oversaw this transformation. Based on extensive interviews with economists and research in state and private archives, he uncovers a significant minority of economic liberals from late Soviet academic and dissident circles who sought to chart a new path, believing free prices and private property were the foundations of a 'civilised country'. This provides a vital challenge to the dominant narrative that neoliberal advisors and organisations imposed harmful reforms on Russia after the collapse of Communism. Liberal reformers faced a profound dilemma - one for which Western advisors had no solution either: should they commit to democratic political activism and risk irrelevance, or align themselves with those in power and be co-opted by an authoritarian state determined to reassert its imperial strength? 1972-2022 69845 Wirtschaftssystem Sozioökonomischer Wandel 4754 Liberalismus Politische Ökonomie Perestroika 7033 Marktwirtschaft Staatskapitalismus 69846 Sowjetunion Russland Volltext https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009736992 EB z 74736 74736 0 0 z 0 0 DHIM DHIM ONRES 2026-10-15 26-e00870 E-26-e00870 77672 2026-10-15 11:27:00 2026-10-15 EB
