What do ordinary Russians think of Putin? Who are his supporters? And why might their support now be faltering? Alive with the voices and experiences of ordinary Russians and elites alike, Sam Greene and Graeme Robertson craft a compellingly original account of contemporary Russian politics in Putin v. the People: The Perilous Politics of a Divided Russia (Yale University Press).
At this book launch – organised by the SSEES Post-Soviet Press Group – Sam and Graeme will present some of the key points presented in their book, before comments from an expert panel and questions from the audience.
Sam Greene is Reader in Russian Politics and Director of the Russia Institute at King’s College London. Graeme Robertson is Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Director of the Center for Slavic, Eurasian and East European Studies.
