Review

"In terms of breadth and depth of coverage, volume of information, footnoting and analysis, Wegren's book towers over all of the exisiting works on agrarian reform in post-Soviet Russia. Furthermore, given the rapidity of change in the Russian countryside, all of the existing works are sorely outdated. Wegren's book fills the clear need for an up-to-date work in this area." -- Frank Durgin, University of Maine
