Description

The Return of the Russian Leviathan by Sergei Medvedev is a thought-provoking analysis of Russia's recent foreign policy decisions. The author argues that these actions can be understood as part of a long-standing mentality within the Russian psyche, driven by a sense of superiority over its neighbours and a nostalgic longing for empire. Medvedev contends that this worldview has been exploited by leaders like Putin to justify aggressive policies, including the annexation of Crimea. The book offers a sharp and insightful look at the forces shaping Russian politics and society today, shedding light on the archaic forces of imperial revanchism that have been brought back to life. This book will be of great interest to anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern Russia's foreign policy and its implications for the wider world.
