Description: Eight years after annexing Crimea Russia embarked on a full - scale invasion of neighbouring Ukraine in February 2022. For Vladimir Putin this was a legacy - defining mission to restore Russia's sphere of influence and undo Ukraine's surprisingly resilient democratic experiment. Yet Putin's aspirations were swiftly eviscerated as the conflict degenerated into a bloody war of attrition and the Russian economy faced crippling sanctions. How can we make sense of his decision to invade? This book argues that Putin's policy of global counter - revolution is driven not by systemic factors such as preventing NATO expansion but domestic ones: the desire to unite Russians around common principles and consolidate his personal brand of authoritarianism. This objective has inspired military interventions in Crimea Donbas and Syria and now all - out war against Kyiv. Samuel Ramani explores why Putin opted for regime change in Ukraine rather than a smaller - scale intervention in Donbas and considers the impact on his own regime's legitimacy. How has Russia's long - term political and foreign policy trajectory shifted? And how will the international response reshape the world order?
