Putin's Russia: The Rise of a Dictator by Darryl Cunningham Paperback Book
In this scathing biography, Vladimir Putin's journey is characterised 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 over the media and harsh muzzling of critics.
Putin's evolution from schoolyard thug in Soviet-era Leningrad, to KGB officer, to corrupt commodities dealer, all the way to his presidency and beyond is laid out meticulously. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 and his appointment to President by Boris Yeltsin in 2000, Putin has annexed Crimea, rolled back democratic reforms, and led a life of luxury, all the while fostering a cult of personality. The list of murdered journalists, poisoned adversaries, city-sized palaces, and hidden monies continues to grow, along with Putin's hold on Russia - and increasingly the free world.
