One should approach this book knowing something about Alexander Dugin; Ivan Ilyan and Nikolai Berdyaev; look them up on Wikipedia. It is a very interesting book; maddening at time mainly due to the organization.As is the case with previous books; Laqueur's focus is Russia right wing. In light of the events in the US presidential election; the mad concerns about the search for an organic Russian idea; drawing on dubious ethnographic research by Anna Akhmatova's son Lev Gumilev; these theorists might appear positively sane by comparison. In the end; there seems in a rejection of the west; an attempt to excise the multicultural character that is Russia.This is a book; well worth reading; exposing the western reader to current intellectual thought in Russia. The chapter headings are so divorced from reality however; that the contents are frequently a source of surprise.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great read full of geopolitical flashpointsBy SamThis book is not a biography for Vladiya Putin. This book is in fact a very detailed analysis of the circumstances that have impacted President Putin's perspective; and have lead to the development of his administration's methodology for crisis management. I recommend this book because I believe it is more important to understand the country than it is to understand the man; and I believe Vladiya Putin would agree that true resolution can only be had by understanding the geopolitics of the multiple regions Russia must coexist with to survive.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

He examines Vladimir Putin's objectives;as much as we know about them; and presents us with a future or relations with Russia that will often be difficult to navigate. Putin would like to have an orderly world in which he can focus on dealing with the West; and specifically the US. The problem is not Putin; but how we deal with Putin as he deals with his world.
