Description
The Rise of the Russian Hawks provides a comprehensive analysis of how nationalist and aggressive ideologies emerged and evolved within Russian political circles from the late Soviet Union to contemporary Putin’s Russia. Juliette Faure explores the intellectual foundations, key figures, and political movements that have shaped Russia’s increasingly assertive foreign policy stance.
The book traces the continuities and ruptures between Soviet-era imperialism and post-Cold War Russian nationalism, examining how hardline politicians and ideologues have influenced decision-making at the highest levels of government. Through detailed historical analysis, Faure reveals how competing visions of Russian greatness and geopolitical strategy have driven policy outcomes, from interventions in former Soviet republics to confrontations with Western powers.
Essential reading for understanding contemporary Russian politics, this work provides crucial context for analysts, policymakers, and scholars seeking to comprehend the ideological roots of modern Russian foreign policy.
