Synopsis:

Is there more to Russian politics than Putin?

Revealing the Russia beyond Moscow and the West s sensational headlines about Putin, Edwin Bacon Reader in Comparative Politics at Birkbeck, University of London offers a succinct yet thorough exploration of power politics in and beyond the Kremlin.

Inside Russian Politics is an intelligent and engaging account of the realities of contemporary Russian politics. Presenting Russia on its own terms rather than through the standard prism of comparison with the West, Edwin Bacon widens our view of Russia beyond the standard account of global power plays and resurgent authoritarian menace.

Moving on from cliché and misleading historical analogy, this concise and accessible guide illuminates Russia s relationship with its political past and the likely trajectories of its future.
