Internationally admired
for her reporting, especially on the Chechen wars, award-winning
journalist Anna Politkovskaya has turned her steely gaze on the man who,
until very recently, was a darling of the Western media. A former KGB
spy, Vladimir Putin was named President of Russia in 2000. From the
moment he entered the public arena he marketed himself as an open,
enlightened leader eager to engage with the West. Unlike many European
and American journalists and politicians, Politkovskaya never trusted
Putin’s press image. From her privileged vantage point at the heart of
Russian current affairs, she set about to dismantle both Putin the man
and Putin the brand name, arguing that he is a power-hungry product of
his own history and so unable to prevent himself from stifling civil
liberties at every turn. This is not, Polikovskaya argues, the kind of
leader most contemporary Russians want. To prove her theory, she tells
the story of Putin’s iron grip on Russian life from the point of view of
individual citizens whose situations have been shaped by his unique
brand of tyranny.
Mafia dealings, scandals in the provinces, military
and judiciary corruption, the decline of the intelligentsia, the tragic
mishandling of the Moscow theatre siege - all are subject to
Polikovskaya’s pitiless but invariably humane scrutiny. This intimate
portrait of nascent civil institutions being subverted under the
unquestioning eyes of the West could not be more timely.
