Description
Vladimir Putin has become one of the most influential leaders of the 21st century, yet his presidency is also marked by deep divisions. Internationally, he has challenged the Western-dominated international system, leading to tensions with Atlantic powers. In Russia, he has navigated a complex balance between rival factions within the elite and broader societal support. This book offers a nuanced analysis of Putin's development, both on the global stage and within Russia's domestic landscape. Richard Sakwa explores the 'Putin paradox' - a regime type that balances numerous contradictions to adapt to its environment while maintaining authority. By examining historical, theoretical, and political factors, Sakwa sheds light on this unique leadership style. Through his analysis, Sakwa provides insight into the complexities of Putin's rule and its implications for Russia and the world.
