The Invention of Russia: The Rise of Putin and the… door Arkady Ostrovsky
Une très précise analyse de la montée (du montage) en puissance d'une Russie auto fantasmée.
½Goes beyond the simple reconstruction of the chain of events and provides ample explanation and analysis of possible motivations and reasons behind the current state of Russia.
Russia has always needed a new project, a novel undertaking, or a new war to divert the attention of the people from their economic misery, and to unite them under the aegis of their strongman leader. TV was there to provide the fake news to spark revanchism, nationalism, antisemitism, and hatred of the West.
How things went wrong in Russia, with the failure of democratic reformers to put in a structure that could survive the transfer of power. Very few heroes here.
