After years of rapprochement, the relationship between Russia and
the West is more strained now than it has ever been in the past 25
years. Putin's motives, his reasons for seeking confrontation with
the West, remain for many a mystery. Not for Mikhail Gorbachev. In
this new work, Russia's elder statesman draws on his wealth of
knowledge and experience to reveal the development of Putin's
regime and the intentions behind it. He argues that in order to
further his own personal power, Putin has corrupted the
achievements of perestroika and created a system which offers no
future for Russia. Faced with this, Gorbachev advocates a radical
reform of politics and new fostering of pluralism and social
democracy. Gorbachev's insightful analysis moves beyond internal
politics to address wider problems in the region, including the
Ukraine conflict, as well as the global challenges of poverty and
climate change. Above all else, he insists that solutions are to be
found by returning to the atmosphere of dialogue and cooperation
which was so instrumental in ending the Cold War. This book
represents the summation of Gorbachev's thinking on the course that
Russia has taken since 1991 and stands as a testament to one of the
greatest and most influential statesmen of the 20th century.
