GETTING TO GRIPS WITH RUSSIA'S 21ST CENTURY TSAR Vladimir V. Putin has confounded world leaders and defied their assumptions as they tried to figure him out, only to misjudge him time and again. The Putin Mystique takes the reader on a journey through the Russia of Vladimir Putin, named by Forbes magazine in 2013 as the most powerful man in the world. It is a neo-feudal world where iPads, WTO membership, and Brioni business suits conceal a power structure straight out of the Middle Ages, where the Sovereign is perceived as both divine and demonic, where a man's riches are determined by his proximity to the Kremlin, and where large swathes of the populace live in precarious complacency interrupted by bouts of revolt. Where does that kind of power come from? The answer lies not in the leader, but in the people: from the impoverished worker who appeals directly to Putin for aid, to the businessmen, security officers and officials in Putin's often dysfunctional government who look to their leader for instruction and protection. In her writing career, Anna Arutunyan has traveled throughout Russia to report on modern Russian politics. She has interviewed oligarchs and policemen, bishops and politicians, and many ordinary Russians. Her book is a vivid and revealing exploration of the way in which myth, power, and even religion interact to produce the love-hate relationship between the Russian people and Vladimir Putin.

Opis produktu
Recenzja
"A fascinating exegesis of power in Russia" as entertaining and readable as it is informative, very deserving of a place on every Russia-wonk's shelves."---Mark Galeotti, New York University, Center for Global Affairs
"Intriguing and insightful" one of the sharpest observers of the Kremlin leader and his court. She gets to grips with the almost mystical bond between Russia's leader and its led."
"Why do so many Russians go on giving uncritical support to Putin? Arguing that Russians hold a quasi-religious respect for the state and its leader, this illuminating book delves into the intertwining of the sacred and the political in history and today."--Caroline Humphrey, University of Cambridge

The other aspect is that Russian rulers achieve demi god like status - God is reserved for orthodox church
Zrecenzowano w Wielkiej Brytanii 🇬🇧 w dniu 24 marca 2017
This book looks at Putin on the basis that Russia is a hard place to rule. A fortune telling gypsy once told Stalin to repair the soles of his boots otherwise he could not stamp down hard enough. The other aspect is that Russian rulers achieve demi god like status - God is reserved for orthodox church. Stalin had to invoke God for the defence of mother Russia in WW2. Whether you are dealing with boyars, kulaks or oligarchs the ruler of Russia has to put the fear of God into the upper echelon of Russian society and a raft of stories grow up surrounding a "succesful" ruler - this book repeats some of the stories about Putin where he p

Scatching analysis of the Russian soul
Zrecenzowano w Wielkiej Brytanii 🇬🇧 w dniu 13 maja 2014
Sometimes the story is a little bit confusing, you have to struggle to keep all the threads in mind. But the analysis of the Russian people, the need for a tsar is revealing and I believe correct. Makes you understand why things are the way they are in Russia. Gives also the sad reason for the Crimean crisis after Sochi Olympics. We other Europeans can only pray that things would change over there, but we need also something to concrete to defend us with should our prayers fail.
