Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Strongman: Vladimir Putin and the Struggle for Russia
Vladimir Putin has turned Russia from fledgling democracy into a police state, and in 2020 a constitutional change gave him the means to stay in power until 2036. In this acclaimed political biography, former BBC Moscow correspondent Angus Roxburgh charts the dramatic fight for Russia’s future under Putin. Roxburgh shows how the former KGB man evolved from reformer to autocrat, how he sought the West’s respect but earned its fear and contempt. Drawing on dozens of exclusive interviews in Russia, where he worked for a time as a Kremlin insider advising Putin on press relations, as well as in the US and Europe, Roxburgh also argues that the West threw away chances to bring Russia in from the cold, by failing to understand its fears and aspirations following the collapse of communism. This updated edition includes new chapters on Putin and Donald Trump, on Russia’s wars in Ukraine and Syria, and on Putin’s ruthless attempt to rout all political opposition.
