Rusia, in the margins of Europe

Putin's Russia

Lecture by Mikhail Zygar

Debate

In this session, Mikhail Zygar discusses the power exercised by Vladimir Putin, the internal politics of contemporary Russia and the social contradictions at their base.

Vladimir Putin has been criticised by some as authoritarian. Others equate his political position with that of a CEO. What is clear is that, with the help of a small circle of advisors, Putin has created an entire system of government around himself. Mikhail Zygar tells the story in his best-seller All the Kremlin’s Men: Inside the Court of Vladimir Putin (Public Affairs, 2016), based on interviews with the Russian president's inner circle.

Presenters: Nicolás de Pedro

Participants: Mikhail Zygar
