Patrick Buchanan examines the political situation in Russia and on the international stage following Putin's recent decisions. The former presidential advisor to Nixon and Ford, who twice ran for president himself, explains why Putin maintains extraordinarily high approval ratings in Russia and why Forbes magazine named him the world's most influential person in both 2013 and 2014. Buchanan argues that Vladimir Putin has identified a way out of the deadlock facing Western civilization, with Russia serving as an integral part of that solution. The book demonstrates that Putin's ideology has gained traction both domestically and internationally. Beyond analyzing Putin's specific policies, Buchanan explores the broader principles of what he terms "Putinism" as a political philosophy.
