Abstract

Crisis in the Kremlin is a computerized decision-making game, with excellent visual graphics, in which the player acts out the role of president of the Soviet Union from 1985. The player may choose to represent one of three different forces (nationalist, reformer, conservative), make annual decisions regarding general policy and budget, and confront crises as they arise.
