Summary
"Russia under Vladimir Putin has proved a prickly partner for the West, a far cry from the democratic ally many hoped for following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Abroad, Putin has used Russia's energy resources as a foreign policy weapon, while at home he has cracked down on opponents, adamant that only he has the right vision for his country's future."--Dust jacket.
