Is there a big definitive book on what went wrong with Russia trying to become a liberal democracy in the 90s?

@ZachWeinersmith As I understand it, when all those satellite states became independent in the 90's the USSR lost half of it's population and a bunch of land resulting in a lesser empire. Russia is pissed this happened and wants it all back.

@desikn @ZachWeinersmith Do you mean the foreign policy direction facilitated a particular political structure?

@clacke @ZachWeinersmith Well, people in control hate losing it. Russia went back to a more authoritarian structure after glasnost.
