Book Overview
This book studies the cultural, societal, and ideological factors absent from popular discourse on Vladimir Putin's Russia, contesting the misleading mainstream assumption that Putin is the all-powerful sovereign of Russia. In carefully examining the ideological underpinnings of Putinism--its tsarist and Soviet elements, its intellectual origins, its culturally reproductive nature, and its imperialist foreign policy--the authors reveal that an indoctrinating ideology and a willing population are simultaneously the most crucial yet overlooked keys to analyzing Putin's totalitarian democracy. Because Putinism is part of a global wave of extreme political movements, the book also reaffirms the need to understand--but not accept--how and why nation-states and masses turn to nationalism, authoritarianism, or totalitarianism in modern times.
