Abstract

Rusland is onder president Vladimir Poetin terug op het wereldtoneel. Tot het begin van de jaren negentig was de Sovjet-Unie een van de machtigste, en in de ogen van velen zelfs gevaarlijkste landen ter wereld, maar daarna ging het een tijd lang mis. Of, vanuit ons perspectief: ging het een tijd lang goed.De Sovjet-Unie ging onder Michail Gorbatsjov ten onder, en de grootste opvolgerstaat, Rusland, ging onder president Boris Jeltsin feitelijk failliet. Rusland leek een verloren land. Maar op de laatste dag van de vorige eeuw, 31 december 1999, trad Vladimir Poetin aan als president, en binnen enkele jaren wist hij Rusland weer vooraan op het wereldtoneel te plaatsen.Hoe is dat zo gekomen ?In De verwoestingen van Rusland beschrijft politicoloog Hans Oversloot de uiterst turbulente geschiedenis van de Sovjet-Unie en de Russische Federatie van de afgelopen 35 jaar. Meedogenloos schrijft hij over de verwoesting van het socialisme door Gorbatsjov, de opkomst van de oligarchen onder Jeltsin en over de pogingen tot herstel door Poetin, met uiteraard ruimschoots aandacht voor de recente ontwikkelingen: de economische crisis van de laatste jaren en de 'hereniging' van Rusland met de Krim. De verwoestingen van Rusland geeft een even monumentaal als onthutsend beeld van het land dat het Westen al sinds de Russische Revolutie, dit jaar precies een eeuw geleden, fascineert en beangstigt.Bron : http://www.bol.com

Abstract

From the author of On Tyranny comes a stunning new chronicle of the rise of authoritarianism from Russia to Europe and America.With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy seemed final. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. This faith was misplaced. Authoritarianism returned to Russia, as Putin found fascist ideas that could be used to justify rule by the wealthy. In the 2010s, it has spread from east to west, aided by Russian warfare in Ukraine and cyberwar in Europe and the United States. Russia found allies among nationalists, oligarchs, and radicals everywhere, and its drive to dissolve Western institutions, states, and values found resonance within the West itself. The rise of populism, the British vote against the EU, and the election of Donald Trump were all Russian goals, but their achievement reveals the vulnerability of Western societies.In this forceful and unsparing work of contemporary history, based on vast research as well as personal reporting, Snyder goes beyond the headlines to expose the true nature of the threat to democracy and law. To understand the challenge is to see, and perhaps renew, the fundamental political virtues offered by tradition and demanded by the future. By revealing the stark choices before us--between equality or oligarchy, individuality or totality, truth and falsehood--Snyder restores our understanding of the basis of our way of life, offering a way forward in a time of terrible uncertainty.

Abstract

In the new Russia, even dictatorship is a reality show. Professional killers with the souls of artists, would-be theater directors turned Kremlin puppet-masters, suicidal supermodels, Hell's Angels who hallucinate themselves as holy warriors, and oligarch revolutionaries: welcome to the glittering, surreal heart of twenty-first-century Russia. It is a world erupting with new money and new power, changing so fast it breaks all sense of reality, home to a form of dictatorship--far subtler than twentieth-century strains--that is rapidly rising to challenge the West. When British producer Peter Pomerantsev plunges into the booming Russian TV industry, he gains access to every nook and corrupt cranny of the country. He is brought to smoky rooms for meetings with propaganda gurus running the nerve-center of the Russian media machine, and visits Siberian mafia-towns and the salons of the international super-rich in London and the US. As the Putin regime becomes more aggressive, Pomerantsev finds himself drawn further into the system. Dazzling yet piercingly insightful, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible is an unforgettable voyage into a country spinning from decadence into madness.Bron : http://www.bol.com
