This successor to Bater's highly-acclaimed The Soviet Scene presents a survey of the contemporary human geography of the former Soviet Union. A central theme in the book's organization and content is historical continuity and change: Bater argues that an appreciation of the former Soviet Union's past is imperative to an understanding of the present.

From the Publisher:

In the few short years since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, there has been great change in the geography of the region. Fifteen new states have appeared where one existed before. This book is an introduction to the geography of this vast region of the world, a challenge of no small order given the fundamental nature of the political, economic, and social changes that the disintegration of the Soviet system has precipitated. It offers a comprehensive introduction to the human geography of the former Soviet Union.
