Budraitskis places Putin’s rationalizations of the invasion in historical context and outlines the ideological underpinnings of Putin’s brand of conservative nationalism. Budraitskis also covers the recent protests in Russia, the Kremlin’s propaganda and censorship efforts, and the geopolitical pressures that might have shaped Putin’s strategy thus far.
