About the book: 2017 / Millions of Russians know (or think they know) what Yegor Gaidar did. Some people thank him for this, others curse him. But few people know why he did exactly what he did, what he thought at the same time. But all this is set out in his books. In his works, he described the entire socio-economic history of mankind - from primitive cave dwellers to inhabitants of modern megacities. Of course, Russia occupies a special place in his works, its path against the backdrop of global development. And everything he did in practice.
