Putin v. the People
What do ordinary Russians think of Putin? Who are his supporters? And why might that support now be waning? Alive with the voices and experiences of Russian elite and ordinary citizens, Sam Greene and Graeme Robertson craft a compellingly original account of contemporary Russian politics. Telling the story of Putin's rule through pivotal episodes such as the aftermath of the Bolotnaya protests, the annexation of Crimea, and the War in Eastern Ukraine, Greene and Robertson draw on interviews, surveys, and leaked documents to reveal how hard Putin has to work to maintain broad popular support alongside exposing the ad hoc tactics that the Kremlin has used to bolster his popularity. Unearthing the ambitions, emotions, and divisions that fuel Russian politics, this book illuminates the crossroads to which Putin has led his country and shows why his rule is more fragile than it appears.
