Description
Reviews / Votes
"In this book, Suzanne Loftus provides a cogent, comprehensive, and valuable analysis of how President Putin retains his authority and favorable standing with the Russian people. It's a splash of reality for those of us hoping that Russia's declining economy and social ills could lead to change in Russia's leadership and policies." (Barry M. Blechman, co-founder of the Stimson Center, USA)
"Suzanne Loftus offers a complex and compelling explanation of Vladimir Putin's national popularity. She stresses that economic performance is secondary to such popularity and that it largely rests on Putin's ability to tap into the realm of national values and self-esteem. If true, the explanation should prove wrong those expecting Western economic sanctions to make Putin reverse his assertive foreign policy." (Andrei P. Tsygankov, Professor, San Francisco State University, USA)
