Description
Dialogue with the Dictator provides a comprehensive analysis of how Vladimir Putin’s government sustains political legitimacy through sophisticated information management strategies and controlled public discourse. Hannah S. Chapman explores the mechanisms by which authoritarian regimes manipulate narratives, manage opposition, and construct manufactured consent among the Russian population.
The book examines state media, propaganda techniques, and the orchestrated nature of political dialogue in Putin’s Russia. Chapman investigates how the regime uses information control to suppress dissent, shape public opinion, and maintain power despite widespread restrictions on freedoms. Through detailed case studies and theoretical frameworks, the author reveals the intricate relationship between authoritarian legitimation and media control.
Published by Cambridge University Press, this work provides essential insights into contemporary Russian politics and offers broader lessons about how authoritarian governments maintain stability in the modern information age.
