The author said "It would not be possible to squeeze into this short book all the relevant developments regarding the crisis in Ukraine.", it seems to me to be an arbitrary comment to add in the wiki out of the other paragraphs in Tsygankov's review. Tags: Reverted references removed |

Timothy Colton is an American political scientist and historian serving as the Morris and Anna Feldberg Professor of Government and Russian Studies at Harvard University.[1] His academic work and interests are in Russian and post-Soviet politics. He is currently an editorial board member for World Politics and Post-Soviet Affairs. He has been a fellow of the American Academy for Arts and Sciences since 2011.[2]
Career
Colton was previously the director of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and chair of the Department of Government at Harvard.[3] He was previously a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and vice chairman of the National Council for East European, Russian, and Eurasian Research.[4]
Colton published The Dilemma of Reform in the Soviet Union in 1984, which dealt with the political and economic situation in Russia after the death of Konstantin Chernenko and rise of Mikhail Gorbachev.[5][6] The book predicted that the tenure of Gorbachev would result in either moderate reform or increasingly conservative policy.[7] A revised and expanded version was published in 1987.[8] In 1995, he published Moscow: Governing the Socialist Metropolis,[9][10] which was awarded the best scholarly book in government and political science by the Association of American Publishers.[11] In 2000, he published Transitional Citizens: Voters and What Influences Them in the New Russia, which presented a model for Russian voting patterns based on previously conducted studies.[12]
The book was noted for its systematic approach to Russian politics.[13][14] In 2008, he published Yeltsin: A life, which re-examined the reputation and legacy of Russian president Boris Yeltsin. The book was well received for its writing and insight into the life and political career of Yeltsin.[15][16][17]
In 2016, he published Russia: What Everyone Needs to Know, which is an overview of the political history of the Russian Federation.[18] This was followed by the 2017 book Everyone Loses: The Ukraine Crisis and the Ruinous Contest for Post-Soviet Eurasia, which was praised by critics for challenging myths about the Ukrainian crisis.[19]
