Description
Putin's Counterrevolution explores how Vladimir Putin's autocracy has impacted Russia's economy and democratic prospects. Since his rise to power nearly twenty years ago, Putin has transformed Russia in many ways, some of which have been detrimental.
A slowdown in the economy since 2009 has led to stagnation, particularly in rural areas, with few signs of a turnaround. Sergey Aleksashenko, a former top Russian finance official and private businessman, attributes this decline to Putin's relentless drive to consolidate power, which has undermined Russia's political institutions and property rights.
This analysis reveals how Putin's actions have destroyed competition for political power and effectively dismantled the system for protecting property rights, contributing to a sharp decline in private investment and long-term economic slowdown.
