Is there a big definitive book on what went wrong with Russia trying to become a liberal democracy in the 90s?

@ZachWeinersmith not a book, and not *specifically* about this, so feel free to ignore me here, but Timothy Snyder's "Making of Modern Ukraine" course contains a lot of background and historical and context info useful here:

@ZachWeinersmith okay, got a recommendation of an *actual book on the actual subject* from a person whose opinion on stuff like this I tend to trust a lot:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Olig

On my reading list now too.
