Inside Russian politics

'Inside Russian Politics' is an intelligent, critical and engaging account of the realities of contemporary Russian politics.

It is distinctive in presenting Russia on its own terms, rather than through the standard prism of comparison with the west.

Unlike most book in English on Russian politics which continue to mythologise the personality of Putin, the holistic approach to this book is more conducive to understanding the power politics of the contemporary Kremlin and the background to Russian military intervention in the Ukraine.

Revealing the Russia beyond Moscow, and the central figures beyond Putin, Edwin Bacon illuminates Russia's relationship with its political past and the likely trajectories of its political future.
