SUMMARY:Book Talk: Putin's Counterrevolution by Sergey Aleksashenko
DESCRIPTION:increasingly rigid authoritarianism, resembling a hard-fisted monarchy more than the previous communist dictatorship.
What accounted for these changes in Russia? In his book Putin's Counterrevolution, Sergey Aleksashenko, a former top Russian finance official and then private businessman, lays the blame squarely on Putin himself, even more than external factors such as the sharp fall in oil prices or Western sanctions after Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. Join CERES for a book talk with Dr. Aleksashenko as he discusses these changes. A light reception will follow.
