This book provides a revealing look at the inner workings of Putin's court, challenging the common perception of his power and influence.
This book offers a compelling behind-the-scenes look at the court of Vladimir Putin since he rose to the presidency in 2000. Through the eyes of one of Russia's most prominent independent journalists, the narrative captures the complex moods of modern Russia and the intricate dynamics of power within the Kremlin. The portrayal of Putin as a strongman is challenged, revealing a more nuanced figure who is often at the mercy of those around him.
All the Kremlin's Men delves into the lives of regional governors and bureaucratic leaders who wield significant influence in their domains, often overshadowing the president himself. These gatekeepers, who control access to power, are depicted as both allies and adversaries, creating a precarious balance that defines the political landscape. The book illustrates how personal ambitions and internal rivalries can lead to the invention of enemies and the initiation of conflicts, all in the pursuit of power.
This bestseller in Russia presents a revisionist view of the Putin era, unraveling the complex web of intrigue that characterizes the Kremlin. The author’s unprecedented access to Putin's inner circle allows for a dazzling reconstruction of a court reminiscent of the Medici, where personal gains often take precedence over national interests. All the Kremlin's Men is not just a political analysis; it is a gripping narrative that reveals the chaotic underpinnings of contemporary Russian politics.
