4.9/5 (17247 ratings)

Description:From schoolyard thug to Russian president: Vladimir Putin’s rise to power comes under the microscope.Putin's Russia traces Putin’s development from schoolyard thug in Soviet-era Leningrad to KGB officer to corrupt commodities dealer all the way to his presidency and beyond. In this educational and frank biography, Putin’s journey is characterized by shifting loyalties, brutal treatment of detractors, and lawless financial dealings. Despite all of this, Putin has retained public support and tremendous importance in Russian society, due to his ever-tightening control of the media and harsh muzzling of critics.Born in 1952, Putin grew up idealizing the KGB and became a member of its ranks by early adulthood. Darryl Cunningham posits that the speed with which Putin advanced politically was a reflection of the KGB’s need to cement their control of the Russian political system after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Since Boris Yeltsin appointed him to the presidency in 2000, Putin has annexed Crimea, rolled back democratic reforms, and led a life of luxury, all the while fostering a cult of personality. In Putin's Russia, Cunningham situates the contentious leader in an analytical framework that is at times hilarious and always compelling.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
