Fragile Empire by Ben Judah
How Russia Fell in and Out of Love with Vladimir Putin
A vivid piece of reportage that travels across Russia to show how the country’s seeming stability is propped up by oil wealth, patronage, corruption and nationalist rhetoric; through interviews with ordinary citizens, officials, oligarchs and marginal figures it reveals deep inequality, nostalgia and resentment, arguing that the grip of power is brittle and maintained more by fear and contingency than by genuine popular consent.
