Förlagets beskrivning
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was an imperial war long in the making. Putin's Russia wants its empire back and has been at war with the West for years; it took the events in Ukraine for the West to realize it. Ukraine is just the latest in a series of Putin's wars of aggression: Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea, Syria and Ukraine. Initially, the war in Chechnya propelled Putin to the presidency. War then proved central to his rule. It helped craft the new social contract between president and people, a contract grounded in a shared vision of Russian national identity and its place in the world. This book examines each of Putin's military interventions to show how Russia rebuilt itself after the 1990s, how it embraced authoritarian politics and developed an imperial view of itself and its place in the world through a series of bloody conflicts
