Andrei Kozyrev was foreign minister of Russia under President Boris Yeltsin from August 1991 to January 1996. During the August 1991 coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev, he was present when tanks moved in to seize the Russian White House, where Boris Yeltsin famously stood on a tank to address the crowd assembled. He then departed to Paris to muster international support and, if needed, to form a Russian government-in-exile. He participated in the negotiations at Brezhnev's former hunting lodge in Belazheva, Belarus where the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus agreed to secede from the Soviet Union and form a Commonwealth of Independent States. Kozyrev's pro-Western orientation made him an increasingly unpopular figure in Russia as Russia's spiraling economy and the emergence of ultra-wealthy oligarchs soured ordinary Russians on Western ideas of democracy and market capitalism.
The Firebird takes the reader into the corridors of power to provide a startling eyewitness account of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the struggle to create a democratic Russia in its place, and how the promise of a better future led to the tragic outcome that changed our world forever.

Ideal para espacios pequeños y con estilo
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
Como muchos saben, los apartamentos en Estados Unidos suelen ser pequeños y con poco espacio para guardar cosas. Yo tenía algunas cajas en una esquina que no sabía cómo esconder sin que se viera desordenado hasta que encontré este biombo, y fue justo lo que necesitaba. Me encantó porque además de tapar lo que no quiero que se vea, le da un toque bonito y moderno al área. El color negro combina con todo y se ve elegante sin ser llamativo. Es liviano, fácil de mover y guardar, y lo mejor: no ocupa mucho espacio cuando no lo estás usando. También me sorprendió que se siente firme y bien hecho, no es de esos biombos que se tambalean o se ven frágiles. Ahora tengo más privacidad y orden en casa, sin tener que hacer grandes cambios. Una compra sencilla pero que hace una gran diferencia. ¡Lo recomiendo!
