埃尔加高级Introductions series

Richard Sakwa, Professor Emeritus of Politics, School of Politics and International Relations, University of Kent, UK

This perceptive Advanced Introduction provides a contemporary analysis of Russia’s political system, political institutions and its place on the global stage. Richard Sakwa deftly explores Russia’s emergence as an independent state, examining the structure of its existing political and economic system, its transformation following the constitutional reform of 2020, and the immediate and long-term consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war.
