Description for Fragile Empire: How Russia Fell In and Out of Love with Vladimir Putin Paperback. Despite a propaganda programme intent on maintaining the cliche of stability, Putin's regime was suddenly confronted in December 2011 by a public protest movement that told a different side of the story. The author argues that Putinism has brought economic growth to Russia but also weaker institutions, and this contradiction leads to instability. Num Pages: 400 pages, 20 b/w illus. BIC Classification: 1DVUA; HBJD; JPHL; JPW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 134 x 202 x 31. Weight in Grams: 448.
A lively, inside account of Putin’s years of rule and the impending crisis that threatens his tsar-like regime
 
“A beautifully written and very lively study of Russia that argues that the political order created by Vladimir Putin is stagnating—undermined by corruption and a failure to modernise economically.”—Gideon Rachman, Financial Times
 
“Ben Judah, a young freelance writer, paints a more journalistic—and more passionate—picture in Fragile Empire. He shuttles to and fro across Russia’s vast terrain, finding criminals, liars, fascists and crooked politicians, as well as the occasional saintly figure.”—
The Economist
