However, he is also recognized as one of the most divisive. Abroad, his assertion of Russia's interests and critique of the western-dominated international system has brought him into conflict with Atlantic powers. Within Russia, he has balanced various factions within the elite intelligentsia alongside the wider support of Russian society. So what is the 'Putin paradox?' Richard Sakwa grapples with Putin's personal and political development on both the international political scene and within the domestic political landscape of Russia. This study historicizes the Putin paradox, through theoretical, historical and political analysis and in light of wider developments in Russian society. Richard Sakwa presents the Putin paradox as a unique regime type - balancing numerous contradictions - in order to adapt to its material environment while maintaining sufficient authority with which to shape it. 505 0 $a Putin and his times -- State, society and regime -- Putin and politics -- Politics and the Third State -- Managed capitalism -- From partner to adversary : Russia and the West -- Recreating the heartland : Eurasian partnerships -- The winds of change -- The Putin phenomenon -- Paradoxes of Putinism. 600 10 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations $y 21st century. 600 17 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00444788 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103021553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=74FB609A74A711EA8EBE956E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
