Rezensionen

`The book is well edited. Although most of the authors are not native English speakers, the papers are well written. ... The book is an informative, thourough and well-prepared review of the status of Russia's agro-food economy in the late 1990s. Its content and style make it accessible to anyone interested in transition agriculture.'
European Review of Agricultural Economics, 27:4 (2000)
`Everyone working in this area should study this more closely. Moreover, the book can be used as an excellent reference book for teaching a course on `transition economics''
