Steven Lee Myers volgde Vladimir Poetin van begin af aan op de voet als correspondent in Moskou voor The New York Times. In deze schitterende biografie (de eerste complete in de westerse wereld) ontrafelt Myers op heldere en evenwichtige wijze hoe Poetin het grootste land op aarde al vijftien jaar lang in zijn greep weet te houden, door zijn even meedogenloze als briljante manipulatie van de media, door het verdelen van macht, rijkdom en invloed over een kleine groep hondstrouwe jeugdvrienden uit St. Petersburg, door het genadeloos uitschakelen van elke vorm van oppositie, door terug te grijpen op de ideologie van het tsarenrijk en door de Russisch-orthodoxe kerk opnieuw tot steunpilaar van de staat te bombarderen.Poetin is in Rusland, ondanks alle massale protesten, mateloos populair, niet alleen onder bejaarden met nostalgie naar het communisme, maar juist ook onder jongeren. Na het bandeloze wildwestkapitalisme, de welig tierende misdaad en corruptie, de armoedeval en het internationale prestigeverlies die volgden op de ondergang van de Sovjet-Unie, wist Poetin in de ogen van veel Russen eindelijk orde op zaken te stellen.De nieuwe tsaar is een biografische tour de force. Myers ziet Poetin als een onberekenbare dictator met achtervolgingswaan die zich nauwelijks nog openstelt voor objectief advies en steeds meer in een isolement raakt. Dat hij onder andere in Zwitserland een privévermogen van naar schatting veertig miljard dollar heeft ondergebracht is in Rusland even geheim als de rest van zijn privéleven, waarover slechts bij toeval iets doordringt in de openbaarheid.De nieuwe tsaar leest als een spannende roman en is van groot belang voor iedereen die gefascineerd is door het verschijnsel Poetin en tevens voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in de toekomst van de wereld en de rol die het nieuwe brutale en agressieve Rusland daarin speelt.Steven Lee Myers schrijft al zesentwintig jaar voor The New York Times, waarvan zeven jaar als correspondent in Moskou. Hij woont in Washington.'De nieuwe tsaar is een adembenemende, rijk gedetailleerde biografie die op allesomvattende, bijna shakespeareaanse wijze verklaart waarom Poetin zich gedraagt zoals hij dat doet.' Robert D. Kaplan'[...] even eerlijk als confronterend: Myers laat blijken zijn onderwerp door en door te kennen. [...] Een bijzonder krachtig portret van een angstaanjagend machtige autocraat.'

When Vladimir Putin first took power in 1999, he was a little-known figure ruling a country that was reeling from a decade and a half of crisis. In the years since, he has reestablished Russia as a great power. How did he do it? What principles have guided Putin's economic policies? What patterns can be discerned? In this new analysis of Putin's Russia, Chris Miller examines its economic policy and the tools Russia's elite have used to achieve its goals. Miller argues that despite Russia's corruption, cronyism, and overdependence on oil as an economic driver, Putin's economic strategy has been surprisingly successful.

Be it for the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the intervention in Syria or the alleged interference in the US presidential election, Russia has been increasingly under the spotlight over the last years. In 2018, the world's eyes will be upon two events: the presidential elections taking place on March 18, and the World Cup, which will kick off in June. While the outcomes of the latter are still uncertain, President Vladimir Putin's victory looks like a safe bet. Even so, these elections bear important consequences for both Russia's domestic and foreign policy, since they will affect Putin's ability to both cement his power at home and pursue his objectives abroad. What are the main domestic and international challenges facing Russia? Will Putin continue to question the Western-championed liberal order or seek reconciliation with the West? The authors of this Report address these key issues, offering in-depth analyses of Russia's political system, economy and society, as well as tracing their evolution and pointing at future scenarios for the EU-Russia relations.

Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 brought East-West relations to a low. But, by selling the annexation in starkly nationalist terms to grassroots nationalists, Putin's popularity reached record heights. This volume examines the interactions and tensions between state and societal nationalisms before and after the annexation.
