Wegren, Nikulin, and Trotsuk have tackled a big subject: Russian policies affecting the supply of food in Russia. They have dealt with it comprehensively, displaying a wealth of knowledge and insight and producing a book of real substance. Whether dealing with ‘counter-sanctions’, fast-food trends, large agro-holdings, or ecological sustainability, they deploy a wide range of source material, clear exposition, and shrewd judgement. The subject is both politically and economically important but has been neglected by Western analysts. This is a timely and impressive study.
