===================
Why we need to look beyond Putin to understand how today’s Russia
actually works
Media and public discussion tends to understand Russian politics as a
direct reflection of Vladimir Putin’s seeming omnipotence or Russia’s
unique history and culture. Yet Russia is remarkably similar to other
autocracies-and recognizing this illuminates the inherent limits to
Putin’s power. Weak Strongman challenges the conventional wisdom about
Putin’s Russia, highlighting the difficult trade-offs that confront
the Kremlin on issues ranging from election fraud and repression to
propaganda and foreign policy.
Drawing on three decades of his own on-the-ground experience and
research as well as insights from a new generation of social
scientists that have received little attention outside academia,
Timothy Frye reveals how much we overlook about today’s Russia when we
focus solely on Putin or Russian exceptionalism. Frye brings a new
understanding to a host of crucial questions: How popular is Putin? Is
Russian propaganda effective? Why are relations with the West so
fraught? Can Russian cyber warriors really swing foreign elections? In
answering these and other questions, Frye offers a highly accessible
reassessment of Russian politics that highlights the challenges of
governing Russia and the nature of modern autocracy.

You’re wonderfully eclectic in your splendiferous selections, demo. Don’t think it hasn’t been noticed.
True, there hasn’t been enough analysis of Vlad’s autocratic angst & tyrannical tensions.

Glad you’re not avoiding the genre of Putin’s shirtless despotism.

Give me a Putin over a Biden any day… You know who Putin is and what he stands for, it’s clear to all… And to under rate him is the only comfort those who fear him can manage… He will lead Russia for decades to come, same leader, same direction… Poor America, you go one way for four years then gallop straight back in the next four… Policies go one way then the other, where is the stability a long term strong leader can provide…? America looks down the barrel of four uncertain years led by a senile geriatric puppet and the author wants you to believe Putin is in the weaker position, no wonder the US has become a mockery if delusions such as the theme of this book are believed…

Not to mention Putin’s perfectly repressive pecs…
And that he’s a particularly aggressive saver: an estimated $200 billion, on a salary of $187,000. I wish I could save like that.
Plus he can’t lose an election. Unfortunate Americans can change their sleazy governments. But Putin could conceivably come out of an election with a dozen votes, and still govern with an “overwhelming majority” - winning 240% of all votes cast. Unprecedented - both democratically, and mathematically.

You may like him because of your daddy issues, but Putin and the Russians who support him have losing ideals on government. It’s why they will lose Ukraine.
