Reddaway and Orttung's edited volume (the first in a series of two) is extremely valuable for understanding Vladimir Putin's answer to the question of how Russia is best ruled. Reddaway and Orttung provide perceptive introductory chapters and a conclusion. Between these are the particularly valuabe individual chapters covering each of the seven 'federal okrugs' in some detail. * American Political Science Review *
