Zero Sum

Zero Sum explores the tumultuous three decades following the collapse of the Soviet Union, highlighting Russia’s rapid transformation into a burgeoning, yet unpredictable, market economy and the dramatic changes that ensued. It chronicles the rise and fall of fortunes, the successes and failures of businesses, and the profound societal shifts during this period of intense upheaval. The book also examines how recent events, such as Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, have impacted the country’s economic landscape and its place in global commerce.
