Mark Galeotti's 'Russian Political War: Moving Beyond the Hybrid' challenges the common perception of Russia's actions as 'hybrid war', instead framing them as a form of 'political war'. The book explores how Russia uses diplomatic, media, and cyber tactics to antagonize and divide the West, aiming to assert its great-power status. Drawing on interactions with Russian officials, Galeotti provides a comprehensive analysis of Russia's modern political warfare strategies.
In this essential primer, Professor Mark Galeotti uncovers the man behind the myth of Vladimir Putin, addressing key misperceptions and explaining how to decipher his motivations and next moves. Drawing on new Russian sources and unpublished accounts, Galeotti provides unparalleled insight into Putin's vision for Russia and the world. Despite the extensive literature on Putin's Russia, the West still struggles to truly understand one of the world's most powerful politicians.
Mark Galeotti's 'The Vory' provides an in-depth look at the history of organized crime in Russia, tracing the evolution of the vory from their origins in the gulags to their modern-day influence in Russia's oligarchy and global underworld. The book explores how these criminals have adapted to changing political landscapes, from Stalinism to post-Soviet Russia.
Mark Galeotti's book provides an accessible overview of Russia's complex history, covering key figures like Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great, the rise and fall of the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, and the Soviet Union. It explores how Russia has mythologized its past to unite its people and influence its future.
