For Vladimir Putin, this was a legacy-defining mission-to restore Russia's sphere of influence and undo Ukraine's surprisingly resilient democratic experiment. Yet Putin's aspirations were swiftly eviscerated, as the conflict degenerated into a bloody war of attrition and the Russian economy faced crippling sanctions. How can we make sense of his decision to invade? This book argues that Putin's policy of global counter-revolution is driven not by systemic factors, such as preventing NATO expansion, but domestic ones: the desire to unite Russians around common principles and consolidate his personal brand of authoritarianism. This objective has inspired military interventions in Crimea, Donbas and Syria, and now all-out war against Kyiv. Samuel Ramani explores why Putin opted for regime change in Ukraine, rather than a smaller-scale intervention in Donbas, and considers the impact on his own regime's legitimacy. How has Russia's long-term political and foreign policy trajectory shifted? And how will the international response reshape the world order?"--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000121307085 650 0 $a Ukraine Conflict, 2014- 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Politics and government $y 1991- 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations. 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations $z Ukraine. 651 0 $a Ukraine $x Foreign relations $z Russia (Federation) 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781805260035 941 $a 3 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716041934.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024521.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231004011704.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C57123C328C11EEBDD4A74441ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
