RT Book T1 Black wind, white snow: the rise of Russia's new nationalism A1 Clover, Charles 1968- LA English PP New Haven London PB Yale University Press YR 2016 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1618457403 AB "In this important, thought-provoking work, journalist Charles Clover, former Moscow bureau chief for the Financial Times, attempts to shed light on the sometimes perplexing political actions and ambitions of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Clover suggests that a nearly century-old ideology known as Eurasianism has taken hold in the region following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, with Putin a strong proponent. Originally formulated as a counter to Communism, Eurasianism posits a Russian national identity based not on politics but on geography and ethnicity, and it portends a stark and troubling future reality for Eastern Europe. Clover's eye-opening study explores the roots of Eurasianism, its growth, and its relationship to recent events, including the annexation of Crimea and the dramatic rise in Russia of anti-Western paranoia and imperialist sentiments. Based on extensive archival research and interviews with Putin's close advisors, as well as with politicians and academics in Russia and Ukraine, this timely study is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the political and social trajectories of Russia and the countries of the former USSR in the coming years"-- AB The most boring adventure ever -- The Silver Age -- The Short Summer -- The people here are nice -- Family trees -- Coals to Newcastle -- The big house -- GULAG -- A Soviet Virgil -- Paris 1990 NO Includes bibliographical references and index. - Selected bibliography: Seite 346-347 CN DK510.766.P87 SN 9780300120707 K1 Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich : 1952- : Political and social views K1 Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich : 1952- : Friends and associates K1 Eurasian school K1 Nationalism : Russia (Federation) K1 Political Culture : Russia (Federation) K1 Ideologie K1 Nationalismus K1 Geschichte K1 Einflussnahme K1 Außenpolitik K1 Russia (Federation) : Foreign relations : Philosophy K1 Russia (Federation) : Politics and government : 1991- K1 Russland K1 Eurasien K1 Russland : Nationalismus : Geschichte 1920-2014 K1 Russland : Sowjetunion : Nationalismus : Geschichte 1920-2014
