    This revised edition includes and examination of the recent presidential and parliamentary elections and their effects on Putin's leadership and Russia. Praise for the previous edition: "Out of her blunt, often acerbic, account come shrewd insights into Putin's transformation from an implausible, contrived successor into a dominator unchallenged by oligarchs, legislators, or regional bosses, let alone a democratic opposition."Foreign Affairs "Shevtsova is one of the most astute and independent-minded observers of the Russian political scene."Times Literary Supplement "Offers many insights into Kremlin court politics, as well as Mr. Putin and his foes."The Economist "This well-informed Russian observer offers a straightforward situation report. Shevtsova's scorecard will interest serious Russia watchers."Booklist "An insightful account of how the Russian president is swaying on a pendulum between reform and stability."Survival "A timely, expert book."Washington Post

      This book is easy to read and accessible. It is a bit dated now since it only gets a year or two into Putin's second term. many of the author's conclusions have proven to come true, though maybe not in the way she envisioned them.I would choose to read further installments on this topic if she were top write them. (she may already have written more on this. I haven't searched yet.)
