The Russian "House": An Examination of Post-Soviet Russian Culture in the Times of Putin examines Russian society as considered by the Russian people. This study recognizes the political, economic, and social structure of post-Soviet Russia in the 2010s-era given that the Russian citizenry, the ethnic and the civil, still desires and recognizes the need for reform while still relying on a host of ideas which Russian society and culture reflexively fall back on. This book will examine categorizations as separated into five co-equal "constructs" that this book will posit to be axiomatic of Russian culture and worthy of consideration in further view of the possibility for Russia to one day become a stable and prosperous country without authoritarianism, bloodshed, militarism, or excess nationalism.

This book is written to examine Russian public opinion, culture and society in the context of the lies, liars and untruths consistent with, but not exclusively part of, the rule of Russia's second (and fourth) post-Soviet President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Then, it is to assess what future there is for Russia in view of Russia's peculiar 'socio-political' culture of parallel truth and untruth. Based on new research, literature and historical examination of 'untruth' in Russia, using political, social, cultural, media and public opinion analysis, this study develops and applies a new and novel approach, or "model(s)," to the study of lies in Russia. Further, this book seeks to provide an understanding of Russia's socio-political environment to outsiders not versed in the ins-and-outs of the influences, causes and reasoning for the Russian government's, and the Russian public's, reactions to publicized events.
