Kremlin Winter by Robert Service
A riveting account of Vladimir Putin's rule since his return to the Russian presidency in 2012.
Robert Service, our pre-eminent Kremlinologist, does not offer a lot of new gossip about PutinHe does not believe in demonising the Russian leader. Rather, in a piece of superb analysis, he sets out how Putin the man was swallowed up by the machine he created. * The Times *
The book has many qualities, not least in ambitious breadth, covering domestic politics, foreign policy, economics and military matters . . . makes for comprehensive introductory reading for those new to the subject. And in the way of any good book, it will be provocative for those already well versed in it. * Literary Review *
Substantial, well-documented . . . One of our most accomplished, erudite and prolific historians of modern Russia. -- Rodric Braithwaite * New Statesman *
A masterful portrait of Putin and Russia -- Jack Coleman * Daily Telegraph *
[A] Nuanced account of Putin in power -- Victor Sebestyen * Financial Times *
Service is too good a historian to attempt to string Putin's actions into a coherent strategy. Rather, he offers a portrait of a leader cobbling together response to a series of crisis. -- Owen Matthews * Times Literary Supplement *
