Description
Showing that many of the weaknesses of the Russian state that existed under Yeltsin persisted under Putin, this book argues that Putin's strategy for rebuilding the state was fundamentally flawed. It focuses on Russia's law enforcement and security bureaucracies, often seen as the key base of support for Putin's rule.
