In Moscow's Shadows 173: Personalistic Power under Putin
Manage episode 448245096 series 2660119
I use reviews of three books to consider the risks and limitations of personalistic explanations of power under Putin, and whether a medieval concept of clan and family actually makes more sense...
The books are:
- THE WIZARD OF THE KREMLIN by GIULIANO DA EMPOLI (Pushkin Press)
- THE KREMLIN’S NOOSE. PUTIN’S BITTER FEUD WITH THE OLIGARCH WHO MADE HIM RULER OF RUSSIA by AMY KNIGHT (Icon Books and Cornell UP)
- THE RULING FAMILIES OF RUS. CLAN, FAMILY AND KINGDOM, by CHRISTIAN RAFFENSPERGER and DONALD OSTROWSKI (Reaktion Books)
The Inozemtsev piece I mention is here, and my review of the play Patriots is here.
