Walker not only explains Vladimir Putin's goals and the government's official manipulations of history, but also focuses on ordinary Russians and their motivations. He charts how Putin raised victory in World War II to the starus of a national founding myth in the search for a unifying force to heal a divided country, and shows how dangerous the ramifications of this have been. The book explores why Russia, unlike Germany, has failed to come to terms with the darkest pages of its past: Stalin's purges, the Gulag, and the war deportations. The narrative roams from the corridors of the Kremlin to the wilds of the Gulags and the trenches of east Ukraine. It puts the annexation of Crimea and the newly assertive Russia in the context of the delayed fallout of the Soviet collapse. Packed with analysis but told mainly through vibrant reportage, The Long Hangover is a thoughful exploration of the legacy of the Soviet collapse and how it has affected life in Russia and Putin's policies."--Container. 600 10 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- $x Influence. 600 17 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00444788 648 7 $a Since 1991 $2 fast 650 0 $a Political culture $z Russia (Federation) $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Politics and government $y 1991- 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01262050 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Page, Michael $q (Michael J.), $e narrator. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190306010809.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20180713035128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BF3174C0370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
