Vladimir Poutine et la Russie - Jean-Robert Raviot

Vladimir Putin, Russia's head of state for over two decades, embodies a political trajectory akin to that of a monarch in the 21st century. Both a product of Russian history and the creator of his own myth, Putin has distinguished himself by a career that began in the shadows of the intelligence services, before rising to the top of the Kremlin. A complex character: a fearsome strategist, a warlord described alternately as a tsar, a tyrant or a modern Hitler, Putin is one of the most portrayed and caricatured political figures in the world. His controversial strategic choices are presented as responses to Western hegemony. Putin is portrayed not only as a head of state, but also as the spokesman and architect of a new world order pitting the West against the rest of the globe. 160 Pages Book, in French.
