Vladimir Putin's Russia

"Vladimir Putin's Russia" offers a comprehensive examination of how a former KGB officer transformed into one of the most influential global leaders, fundamentally reshaping both Russia's internal structure and its international position.

The book masterfully analyzes three critical dimensions of Putin's leadership: his methodical consolidation of power through institutional reforms, Russia's increasingly assertive foreign policy, and the country's dramatic economic transformation from post-Soviet disorder to state-controlled capitalism. Through meticulous research drawing from government documents, insider accounts, and economic data, the book traces Putin's systematic approach to centralizing authority since his unexpected rise to power in 2000.

It presents a compelling argument that Putin has created a unique model of authoritarian modernization, blending Soviet-style control with market economics and nationalism. This hybrid system challenges traditional Western assumptions about democratic development and international relations, offering readers crucial insights into modern Russia's trajectory.

The narrative progresses chronologically through key phases of Putin's leadership, including his initial reforms, the Medvedev years, and the post-2012 period marked by increased international assertiveness. By incorporating diverse perspectives from political analysts, former government officials, and business leaders, the book maintains an objective stance while examining controversial topics such as Russia's regional interventions and cyber operations.

This balanced approach helps readers understand the complex dynamics of Russian politics and its significant impact on global geopolitics, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in contemporary international relations.
