This revised edition includes and examination of the recent presidential and parliamentary elections and their effects on Putin’s leadership and Russia.

Shevtsova’s scorecard will interest serious Russia watchers.’—Booklist ‘An insightful account of how the Russian president is swaying on a pendulum between reform and stability.’—Survival ‘A timely, expert book.’—Washington Post
