Putin’s Dark Ages. Political Neomedievalism and Re-Stalinization in Russia

‘In Putin's Dark Ages, Dina Khapaeva offers an original interpretation of the Russian president and his apocalyptic, reactionary worldview: clearly written, deeply researched and thought provoking.’
Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic, USA
‘An illuminating inquiry, a necessary book to understand the nature of Putinism - combining Restalinization with a multifaceted Neomedievalism. A severe dissection of a terrorist regime.’
François Hartog, École des hautes études en sciences sociales, France
