Kremlin rising
This book delves into the secret plot to reconsolidate power in the Kremlin following the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. Based on four years as Moscow bureau chiefs for The Washington Post, the authors reveal the methodical campaign to transform Russia back into an authoritarian state under Vladimir Putin. The narrative traces Putin's rise and the key moments that centralized power, while also portraying the lives of ordinary Russian citizens affected by these political shifts.
