My Russia

the long version

Gennady A. Zyuganov is the leader of Russia's resurgent Communist Party and the opposition coalition of "National Patriotic Forces." Zyuganov was Boris Yeltsin's strongest challenger in the 1996 presidential elections. Although his face became familiar to the world at that time, his ideas and his program were mainly a subject of speculation. This volume makes available to English-language readers - for the first time and in his own words - Zyuganov's interpretation of Russia's past and her fate under Gorbachev and Yeltsin, his own mission, and his vision of Russia's future under a "National Patriotic" Communist leadership.
