Offering a fresh perspective on Vladimir Putin's Russia, Katharina Bluhm demonstrates how an illiberal-conservative movement created in the 1990s to oppose neoliberal globalization has become a powerful anti-Western ideology that justifies Russian imperialism. Her book provides an in-depth analysis of Russian ideology, economy, and politics since the demise of the Soviet Union and reveals the societal forces that simultaneously support and challenge the Putin regime.
