Ideology and Meaning-Making under the Putin Regime Marlene Laruelle
€41.00
Much has been written to try to understand the ideological characteristics of the current Russian government, as well as what is happening inside the mind of Vladimir Putin. Refusing pundits’ clichés that depict the Russian regime as either a cynical kleptocracy or the product of Putin’s grand Machiavellian designs, Ideology and Meaning-Making under the Putin Regime offers a critical genealogy of ideology in Russia today. Marlene Laruelle provides an innovative, multi-method analysis of the Russian regime’s ideological production process and the ways it is operationalized in both domestic and foreign policies. ‘Ideology and Meaning-Making under the Putin Regime’ reclaims the study of ideology as an unavoidable component of the tools we use to render the world intelligible and represents a significant contribution to the scholarly debate on the interaction between ideas and policy decisions. By placing the current Russian regime into a broader context of different strains of strategic culture, ideological interest groups, and intellectual history, this book gives readers key insights into how the Russo-Ukrainian War became possible and the role ideology played in enabling it.
