| book description |

A key question for the contemporary world: What is Putinâ€™s ideology? This book analyses this ideology, which it terms â€œPutinismâ€. It examines a range of factors that feed into the ideology â€“ conservative thought in Russia from the nineteenth century onwards, Russian and Soviet history and their memorialisation, Russian Orthodox religion and its political connections, a focus on traditional values, and Russiaâ€™s sense of itself as a unique civilisation, different from the West and due a special, respected place in the world. The book highlights that although the resulting ideology lacks coherence and universalism comparable to that of Soviet-era Marxism-Leninism, it is nevertheless effective in aligning the population to the regime and is flexible and applicable in different circumstances. And that therefore it is not attached to Putin as a person, is likely to outlive him, and is potentially appealing elsewhere in the world outside Russia, especially to countries that feel belittled by the West and let down by the Westâ€™s failure to resolve problems of global injustice and inequality.
