The book traces the origins of change in general education in the last years of the Soviet Union and afterwards in the Russian Federation. It describes what happened during perestroika and glasnost and the struggles for liberalization which were finally given official recognition in 1998. After the anti-Gorbachev coup in 1991, with the disintegration of Soviet and Communist power, decentralization and regionalization developed, together with the emergence of alternative schools and finally a small private sector. The book also describes the many problems faced by schools and teachers with the near collapse of the Russian economy.

Industry Reviews

The book will appeal to a varied readership, containing a sufficient degree of background coverage of the subject for the nonspecialist, but also providing a great deal of detailed information on a wide range of aspects of school life. "Russian Review"
