Als der Journalist Thomas Franke zum ersten Mal nach Russland reiste, musste man eigentlich keine Angst mehr haben: Das Sowjetreich war zusammengebrochen, der russische Bär bleckte nicht länger die Zähne. Heute fürchten sich wieder viele Menschen vor - und ebenso: in - Putins Russland. Seit mehr als 20 Jahren bereist Franke Russland, von 2012 bis 2016 lebte er in Moskau: Zeit für zahllose Begegnungen und Gespräche zwischen der Hauptstadt und der Krim, zwischen Wolgograd und Sibirien. Mit scharfem Blick und präzisem Ton erzählt Franke von Alltag, Geschichte und Politik und erlebt als mitfühlender Chronist eine Entwicklung, die er nicht für möglich gehalten hatte: die Reaktivierung sowjetischer Reflexe, die Rückkehr der Angst in die russische Gesellschaft. Diese Angst, so Franke, hat das ganze Land infiziert: Die Staatsmacht unter Putin nutzt sie, um ihre Autorität zu stärken und die Moral der Opposition zu untergraben. Und zugleich schürt sie die Angst vor Macht- und Identitätsverlust, vor der weltpolitischen Marginalisierung: In der russischen Seele gärt eine explosive Mischung.

'This exciting and provocative book blows apart misconceptions about the Russian past' Lara Douds, Times Higher Education Russia is an exceptional country, the biggest in the world. It is both European and exotic, powerful and weak, brilliant and flawed. Why are we so afraid of it? Time and again, we judge Russia by unique standards. We have usually assumed that it possesses higher levels of cunning, malevolence and brutality. Yet the country has more often than not been a crucial ally, not least against Napoleon and in the two world wars. We admire its music and its writers. We lavish praise on the Russian soul. And still we think of Russia as a unique menace. What is it about this extraordinary country that consistently provokes such excessive responses? And why is this so dangerous? Ranging from the earliest times to the present, Mark B. Smith's remarkable new book is a history of this 'Russia Anxiety'. Whether ally or enemy, superpower or failing state, Russia grips our imagination and fuels our fears unlike any other country. This book shows how history itself offers a clearer view and a better future.

Russia, once compared to a giant sphinx, is often considered in the Anglophone world an alien culture, often threatening and always enigmatic. Although recognizably European, Russian culture also has mystical features, including the idiosyncratic phenomenon of Russian irrationalism. Historically, Russian irrationalism has been viewed with caution in the West, where it is often seen as antagonistic to, and subversive of, the rational foundations of Western speculative philosophy. Some of the remarkable achievements of the Russian irrationalist approach, however, especially in the artistic sphere, have been recognized and even admired, though not sufficiently investigated. Bridging the gap between intellectual cultures, Olga Tabachnikova discusses such fundamental irrationalist themes as language and the linguistic underpinning of culture; the power of illusion in national consciousness; the changing relationship between love and morality; the cultural roots of humour, as well as the relevance of various individual writers and philosophers from Pushkin to Brodsky to the construction of Russian irrationalism.

From the end of the Mongol Empire to today, Russian history is a tale of cultural, political, economic and military interaction with Western powers. The depth of this relationship has created a geopolitical dilemma: Russia has persistently been both attracted to and at odds with Western ideas and technological development, which have tended to threaten Russia's sense of identity and create destabilizing divisions within society. Simultaneously, deepening involvement in Western international affairs brought meddling in Russian domestic politics and military invasion. This book examines how the centuries-old Western threat has shaped Russia's political and strategic structures, creating a culture of security rooted in vigilance against Western influence and interference.

This book is about documenting the transformation of the United States under the Obama policies, and the ideological premises of that transformation. The book makes clear that policy considerations under Obama were defined in terms of his ideological disposition instead of what is necessarily in the best interest of the country. His left wing disposition left little room for cost-benefit analysis and for policies emerging from a true national dialogue. Obama Care was made into law without a single Republican vote. Much of the proposed legislations passed by the House of Representative were shelved by the Democrat Senate. Race relations became worse under his administration as he preferred to interfere in every case involving African- Americans while ignoring compelling facts. His decision on the Keystone Pipeline is illustrative of an appeasement policy for the left instead of one that produces jobs and energy independence for the United States. The book synthesizes the ideological foundation of numerous policies that were driven by President Obama’s extreme liberalism in order to keep the base of the Democratic Party and major liberal donors in toe. Many of his policy choices were achieved by extraconstitutional methods such as Executive Orders and congressional paralysis instituted by Harry Reid. Meanwhile, the ranks of the poor, the underemployed, the too-discouraged to seek employment and those receiving food stamps rose at historical levels. Despite the most optimistic promises President Obama made, the US recovery continued anemic, The book will provoke much discussion, and perhaps strong disagreements and perhaps applause. It should, therefore, contribute to the vibrancy of our democracy and to the solidity of our constitution.

Did NATO cause the crisis in Ukraine? Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the fortunes of NATO—pronounced “braindead” only a few years prior—have been miraculously revived. The alliance, buoyed by surging European military budgets and inflows of combat-ready troops and cutting-edge hardware, looks forward to welcoming additional member states. Originally conceived as a bulwark against the Soviet Union, NATO has outlasted its ostensible foe by over three decades. Its geostrategic remit is limited to the North Atlantic in name only. Treaty obligations range from the Andes to the Gulf of Aden and the Khyber Pass, and allied commanders now prepare for battle in the South China Sea. Natopolitanism takes an in-depth look at the evolution and aggrandizement of NATO since the turn of the 1990s. What purposes does NATO serve in the post-Cold War world? What is the balance sheet of a quarter century of alliance expansion, and what part did it play in the eruption of conflict on Europe’s eastern marches? Contributors to the volume, including John J. Mearsheimer, Mary Elise Sarotte, Susan Watkins, Wolfgang Streeck, and Volodymyr Ishchenko, revisit this this history as it unfolded. Varying in viewpoint and judgment, all share a critical perspective at odds with wartime pieties.
