But a decade later, Boris Yeltsin’s handpicked successor-Vladimir Putin, a self-described childhood hooligan turned KGB officer-resolved to end the revolution. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKremlin Rising\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e goes behind the scenes of contemporary Russia to offer a sobering picture of its leader and the direction in which the country is now headed.\u003cbr\u003e As Moscow bureau chiefs for the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter Baker and Susan Glasser witnessed firsthand the methodical campaign to reverse the post-Soviet revolution and transform Russia back into an authoritarian state. Their gripping narrative moves from Putin’s unlikely rise through the key moments of his tenure. But the authors go beyond the politics to draw a moving and vivid portrait of the Russian people they encountered-both those who have prospered and those barely surviving-and show how the political flux has shaped these individuals’ lives.\u003cbr\u003e With shrewd reporting and unprecedented access to Putin’s insiders, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKremlin Rising\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e offers both unsettling revelations about Russia’s leader and a compelling inside look at life in the land he is building. This book is an extraordinary contribution to our understanding of Russia and the debate about the country’s uncertain future and its relationship with the United States.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Potomac Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52656107585816,"sku":"9781597971225","price":22.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/kremlin-rising-vladimir-putins-russia-and-the-end-of-revolution-updated-edition-paperback-softback-9781597971225","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
