*Dr Matthew Wyman, Keele University, UK*
Written by renowned scholars in the field, this book provides
readers with a comprehensive analysis of the key issues shaping
political developments in Russia. It is an invaluable publication
for students who wish to understand how Russia's domestic politics
and foreign policy are intertwined.
*Professor Peter Vermeersch, KU Leuven, Belgium*
This is an exceptional volume showcasing the insights of
established and upcoming scholars of Russia alike. It makes sense
of the shifting sands of politics in reaction to Russia’s brutal
and senseless invasion of Ukraine. It does so with nuance and
acumen, providing a bottom-up, societal approach to complement its
analysis of the vagaries of Russia’s ‘patronal’ high politics.
*Professor Luke March, University of Edinburgh*
