President Vladimir Putin is a figure of both fear and fascination in the Western imagination. In the minds of media pundits and commentators, he personifies Russia itself - a country riven with contradictions and always a threat to world peace. What is the role of Western journalism in constructing a new kind of Cold War with Russia ? Focusing on British and US media coverage of moments of crisis and of cooperation between the West and Russia, the author exposes how such a Cold War framework shapes public perceptions of a major, hostile power reasserting itself on the world stage. The book includes analysis of reporting of key events, such as the Ukraine/Crimea crisis, the Skripal poisoning and Russia's military intervention in Syria.
