Putin: His Life and Times

內容簡介

內容簡介 化瘋狂為邏輯，揭開世界最危險男人的面具本書不只是俄羅斯總統普丁的個人傳記，也融入俄國六十年的政壇更迭。英國傳記作家蕭特長期在莫斯科、北京和華盛頓特區擔任駐外記者，他基於八年來在俄國、美國和歐洲進行的近兩百次專訪和多國的文獻，梳理普丁的複雜面貌。從蘇聯國安會低階幹員到對烏克蘭發動侵略戰爭的政治強人，蕭特鞭辟入裡地闡述普丁的人生，並對若干爭議事件提出個人見解。俄羅斯總統普丁製造出一場風暴籠罩美國和歐洲，入侵鄰國烏克蘭，干預西方選舉並下令在俄羅斯境內外攻擊。然而許多俄羅斯人繼續支持他，認為儘管受到西方制裁但大多數人的生活比過去任何時候都好，不論如何，在普丁的領導下俄羅斯再次成為一股不可忽視的力量。 'A perfect mirror to its subject... should be compulsory reading' ObserverVladimir Putin is a pariah to the West.He has the power to reduce the West to nuclear ashes. He invades his neighbours, meddles in western elections and orders assassinations. His regime is autocratic and corrupt. Yet many Russians continue to support him. Under Putin's leadership, Russia has once again become a force to be reckoned with.Philip Short's magisterial biography explores in unprecedented depth the personality of Russia's leader and demolishes many of our preconceptions about Putin's Russia.To explain is not to justify. Putin's regime is dark. But on closer examination, much of what we think we know about him turns out to rest on half-truths. This book is as close as we will come to understanding Russia's ruler.'Short's pushback against lazy, convenient myth-making is refreshing' The Times'Elegantly written and pacy' Financial Times'Extensively covers the dark moments of Putin's career.... The Putin of Short's book is not someone you would invite to dinner' New York Times
