2009. 262 p. - Delo - pbk. 13 x 20 cm. ISBN 9785969103986. In Russian.
$16.00
Ten years ago Martin Gilman was the director of the headquarter of
International Monetary Fond (IMF) in Moscow (1996-2002). This book is about
the financial default which shook Russia in 1998. It could have been
published several years ago, but the IMF did not allow its publication. This
book is about the first steps of the IMF in Russia, its role, achievements
and mistakes. The author does not create a complimentary portrait of his
mission and actions, but rather is trying to analyze them. One of the ideas
of this book is that Russia learned some lessons from the 1998 crisis, and
for several year kept a conservative strategy in her financial policy. These
lessons were forgotten recently and caused a financial bubble in the Russian
economy. The author lives and works in Russia since 2005. Bibliography.

a new generation of Russians. Giving his own interpretation of challenges

of the West and The East and adds his own constructive understanding of the

priorities within that array are distributed in absolutely different ways.
