About this book

Ben Judah's book "Fragile Empire: How Russia Fell In and Out of Love with Vladimir Putin" offers a thorough analysis of Putin's Russia. Judah's in-depth interviews and travels around Russia and the former communist countries served as the basis for the book. It offers a critical evaluation of Putin's ascent to prominence his accomplishments and his broken pledges.

Judah contends that although Putin has attempted to project stability, his policies have instead created instability by weakening institutions and stimulating economic development. The book explores how Putin's leadership has been impacted by a new generation, the Internet, social activity, and globalization.
