This is the first and only book in global political historiography to deliver a comprehensive ontological deconstruction of the Putin regime, standing entirely alone in its philosophical depth. Moving decisively away from standard journalistic chronicles, media gossip, and superficial political commentary, contemporary philosopher Valery Dashevsky dissects the Russian power structure not as a mere political event, but as a metaphysical phenomenon.
Understanding Putin exposes the existential mechanisms of "power for the sake of power, " revealing how a meticulously manufactured virtual reality has systematically replaced objective being. Born from authentic existential experience within the historical ruptures of Eastern Europe, this elite work offers an unprecedented philosophical toolkit. It is an indispensable masterwork for Western scholars, political analysts, and readers of continental philosophy who want to comprehend the true, paradigm-shifting nature of the modern geopolitical threat.
