His knowledge of many of the key players allows him to explain the phenomenon of Valdimir Putin - his rise and astonishing longevity, his use of hybrid warfare and the alarming crescendo of his military interventions. One of Putin's first acts was to reverse Gorbachev's decision to end media censorship and Ostrovsky argues that the Russian media has done more to shape the fate of the country than its politicians. Putin pioneered a new form of demagogic populism --oblivious to facts and aggressively nationalistic - that has now been embraced by Donald Trump. In his new paperback preface, Ostrovsky will explore how Putin influenced the US election, the Trump Putin access, and will consider how Putin's methods - weaponizing the media and serving up fake news - came to enter American politics"--Amazon.com. 541 $d 20180829. 600 1 $a Gorbachev, Mikhail Sergeevich $d 1931- 600 1 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- 650 $a Post-communism $z Russia (Federation) $x History. 650 $a Capitalism $x History. $z Russia (Federation) $x History. 650 $a Political culture $z Russia (Federation) $x History. 650 $a Nationalism $z Russia (Federation) $x History. 650 7 $a Social change $z Russia (Federation) $x History. 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $x Politics and government $y 1991- 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $x History $y 1991- 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations $z Western countries. 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $x Social conditions $y 1991- 651 $a Western countries $x Foreign relations $z Russia (Federation.) 651 $a Soviet Union $x History $y 1985-1991. 941 $a 1 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20181025011026.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4EEA86EED81B11E884A007FC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
