Based on an unprecedented series of interviews with Vladimir Putin's inner circle, this book presents a radically different view of power and politics in Russia. The image of Putin as a strongman is dissolved. In its place is a weary figurehead buffeted--if not controlled--by the men who at once advise and deceive him.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe regional governors and bureaucratic leaders are immovable objects, far more powerful in their fiefdoms than the president himself. So are the gatekeepers-those officials who guard the pathways to power-on whom Putin depends as much as they rely on him. The tenuous edifice is filled with all of the intrigue and plotting of a Medici court, as enemies of the state are invented and wars begun to justify personal gains, internal rivalries, or one faction's biased advantage.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA bestseller in Russia, \u003ci\u003eALL THE KREMLIN'S MEN\u003c\/i\u003e is a shocking revisionist portrait of the Putin era and a dazzling reconstruction of the machinations of courtiers running riot.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46717758800030,"sku":"ADS-9781568588179","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781568588179.jpg?v=1776129707","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781568588179","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
