In this Orwell Prize-winning book, Arkady Ostrovsky reaches back to the darkest days of the Cold War to tell the story of Russia's stealthy and largely unchronicled post-Soviet transformation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA highly regarded Moscow correspondent for the Economist, Arkady Ostrovsky comes to this story both as a participant and a foreign correspondent. His knowledge of many of the key players allows him to explain the phenomenon of Valdimir Putin - his rise and astonishing longevity, his use of hybrid warfare and the alarming crescendo of his military interventions. In his new paperback preface, Ostrovsky explores how Putin influenced the US election, the Trump Putin access, and shows how Putin's methods - weaponizing the media and serving up fake news - came to enter American politics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArkady Ostrovsky\u003c\/b\u003e is a Russian-born journalist who has spent fifteen years reporting from Moscow, first for the \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e and then as bureau chief for \u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e.
