This talk is based on the book Putinism: Post-Soviet Russian Regime Ideology. The book explores the ideological foundations of Putinism, examining its place within the broader ideological landscape. It argues that Putinism represents a distinct and relatively original combination of ideas, rooted in a worldview shaped by communitarianism, populism, identitarian conservatism, and messianic geopolitics.
