  1. 1. Winter Is Coming

    Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped

    A sharp political warning that Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian regime and its blend of military force, covert operations, cyberattacks, and energy coercion pose a growing threat to liberal democracies; the author, drawing on his experience as a Russian dissident and strategist, diagnoses how Western complacency and division have enabled Russian aggression. He chronicles examples of interference and expansionism, argues that tolerance and appeasement invite further attacks on democratic institutions, and proposes concrete remedies—stronger sanctions, unified NATO resolve, energy diversification, and support for civil society and democratic movements—to deter and roll back authoritarian influence. The work is both a call to action and a strategic manifesto urging moral clarity and political will to defend freedom.
