Abstract
After the Soviet collapse, the Russian aluminium industry has had to learn to cope with global market forces and to find a new modus vivendi with the new system of governance and a new elite. This book focuses on the evolution of the post-Soviet Russian aluminium industry, with special attention to the period after 2000 and how the industry and Russia’s aluminium tycoons have gone about relating to global aluminium markets, as well as to the political framework in Russia that defines the rules of the game on the domestic front.
