Hardly anyone knows Russia better than Michael Thumann, who has reported from Eastern Europe for DIE ZEIT for over 25 years. He now presents a breathtakingly written book that traces Russia’s descent into an increasingly totalitarian dictatorship and the path to Putin’s imperialist war at close quarters. The motive of the dictator and his followers: to take revenge for the democratic opening after 1991 and the supposed humiliation by the West. Putin’s rule continues to radicalize. It is the most threatening regime in the world.<\/p>\n

Michael Thumann<\/strong> is foreign affairs correspondent for DIE ZEIT and lives in Moscow. His articles, podcasts and books on Russia as a multi-ethnic state and Putin’s new nationalism have broadened the view of this country.<\/p>\n
