What's on Putin's Mind?

Can we call Putin a Soviet lover? How might interest in judo be related to Kant? How could he manipulate conservatism while appearing to be a complete liberal? Why does he see the West as Russia's arch-enemy? What kind of a world awaits us as a result of imperial enthusiasm and belligerence? While Putin is shaping his new world imagination, he does not rely on a single source. It blends the ideas of thinkers from very different backgrounds in its own unique way. It is possible to find some Solzhenitsyn and some Dostoyevsky here. What's on Putin's Mind? In this book, you will find an interesting portrait of Putin, including his management philosophy and ideals for the country. Moreover, this essay is full of clues to see what Vladimir Putin, who dreamed of and realized one-man rule, can do and to predict what steps he will take in the future. In this highly praised work, Michel Eltchaninoff tries to answer a question that has been on the minds since the annexation of Crimea and the Russian intervention in Syria: What is going through Putin's mind? A doctrine whose existence was vaguely felt has begun to emerge more clearly over the past few years. A complex doctrine that is unpredictable and difficult to penetrate, like Putin's personality... This hybrid and unstable doctrine may indicate that a dynamic and uncertain future awaits us all. We will live and see.
