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?\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Putins War On Ukraine Russias Campaign For Global Counter - Revolution\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Ramani Samuel\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: C Hurst \u0026amp; Co Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781787388512\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 592 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 6\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Warfare \u0026amp; Defence","brand":"Ramani Samuel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623967203633,"sku":"IN-G-9781787388512","price":36.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781787388512-putins-war-on-ukraine-russias-campaign-for-global-counter-revolution","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
