Vladimir Putin has emerged as one of the key leaders of the
twenty-first century. However, he is also recognized as one of the
most divisive. Abroad, his assertion of Russia's interests and
critique of the western-dominated international system has brought
him into conflict with Atlantic powers. Within Russia, he has
balanced various factions within the elite intelligentsia alongside
the wider support of Russian society. So what is the 'Putin
paradox?' Richard Sakwa grapples with Putin's personal and
political development on both the international political scene and
within the domestic political landscape of Russia. This study
historicizes the Putin paradox, through theoretical, historical and
political analysis and in light of wider developments in Russian
society. Richard Sakwa presents the Putin paradox as a unique
regime type - balancing numerous contradictions - in order to adapt
to its material environment while maintaining sufficient authority
with which to shape it.
