De quelle Russie Poutine est-il le maître ? Pour unifier ce peuple pluriel conquis par les Vikings et les Mongols, sans frontières naturelles, aussi européen qu'asiatique, la Russie a fait de ces multiples influences son identité propre, quitte à en forger les légendes. Mais, en jouant de ce passé, elle s'est enfermée et contrainte dans ses rapports avec le monde extérieur. Telle est la thèse de Mark Galeotti qui, en relatant avec brio son histoire en quelques chapitres enlevés, nous donne les clés pour comprendre ce pays. Une réflexion passionnante et très accessible pour mieux comprendre la figure de Vladimir Poutine et la crise géopolitique actuelle.

L'un des analystes internationaux les plus accrédités de la Russie contemporaine guide les lecteurs le long des « chemins de guerre » de Vladimir Poutine. Une reconstitution qui jette un nouvel éclairage sur les anciens conflits, et clarifie en perspective les raisons et les épilogues probables de la dernière attaque lancée par l'Ours russe. « Mark Galeotti est l'un des analystes les plus pointus et les plus incisifs du passé, du présent et de l'avenir de la Russie. L'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie en février 2022 souligne tragiquement l'importance cruciale qu'il y a à comprendre le lien entre la politique et la guerre. Galeotti montre de manière vivante comment la Russie a mené ses guerres... comment ces guerres ont façonné la politique du pays et, à son tour, comment la politique a façonné les campagnes militaires de Moscou. »JOSHUA C. HUMINSKI - Directeur du Mike Rogers Center for Intelligence and Global Affairs « Un compte rendu accessible, lucide et très bien documenté du fonctionnement interne, de la logique et des motivations qui soutiennent le pilier militaire du poutinisme. Ce livre est un bijou que je recommande sans réserve. »GRAEME P. HERD - George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies « Les Guerres de Poutine résume parfaitement toute l'oeuvre de Galeotti : une écriture passionnante comme un roman d'espionnage, avec des informations de première main pour l'étudiant ou le lecteur professionnel... C'est une excellente contribution non seulement pour les observateurs les plus expérimentés, mais aussi pour tous ceux qui veulent comprendre comment l'invasion ukrainienne de 2022 a pu se produire. »YUVAL WEBER - Chaire de stratégie militaire et politique russe, US Marine Corps University

Meet the world's most dangerous man.
Who is the real Vladimir Putin? What does he want? And what will he do next?
Despite the millions of words written on Putin's Russia, the West still fails to truly understand one of the world's most powerful politicians, whose influence spans the globe and whose networks of power reach into the very heart of our daily lives.
In this essential primer, Professor Mark Galeotti uncovers the man behind the myth, addressing the key misperceptions of Putin and explaining how we can decipher his motivations and next moves. From Putin's early life in the KGB and his real relationship with the USA to his vision for the future of Russia - and the world - Galeotti draws on new Russian sources and explosive unpublished accounts to give unparalleled insight into the man at the heart of global politics.

Evgeny Prigozhin emerged as one of the most dangerous warlords in the world and as one of Vladimir Putin''s chief rivals in Russia''s tumultuous political climate, exiled after leading Wagner''s attempted coup and killed in a mysterious plane crash. But what is the truth about this enigmatic figure, his role in the war with Ukraine, and the chaos unleashed across Russia by his turn against Putin? And, the aftermath of his death, what is next for Russia in the new stage of late Putinism that Prigozhin''s life forged?
Drawing on years of research, this book traces the rise of Russia''s most prominent non-state actor and examines the political climate that propelled a convicted gangster with no government office to the formidable role he has come to occupy. An essential story of Russia''s recent history, The Warlord is also a compelling insight into its likely future. -
''Fascinating... One of the most astute political commentators on Putin and modern Russia'' Financial Times ''An amazing achievement'' Peter Frankopan Can anyone truly understand Russia? Russia is a country with no natural borders, no single ethos, no true central identity. At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, it is everyone''s ''other''. And yet it is one of the most powerful nations on earth, a master game-player on the global stage with a rich history of war and peace, poets and revolutionaries. In this essential whistle-stop tour of the world''s most complex nation, Mark Galeotti takes us behind the myths to the heart of the Russian story: from the formation of a nation to its early legends - including Ivan the Terrible and Catherine the Great - to the rise and fall of the Romanovs, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War, Chernobyl and the end of the Soviet Union - plus the rise of a politician named Vladimir Putin, and the events leading to the Ukrainian war.

The Financial Times - Best books of 2022: Politics ''The prolific military chronicler and analyst Mark Galeotti has produced exactly the right book at the right time.'' The Times A new history of how Putin and his conflicts have inexorably reshaped Russia, including his devastating invasion of Ukraine.
Putin''s Wars is a timely overview of the conflicts in which Russia has been involved since Vladimir Putin became prime minister and then president of Russia, from the First Chechen War to the two military incursions into Georgia, the annexation of Crimea and the eventual invasion of Ukraine itself. But it also looks more broadly at Putin''s recreation of Russian military power and its expansion to include a range of new capabilities, from mercenaries to operatives in a relentless information war against Western powers. This is an engrossing strategic overview of the Russian military and the successes and failures on the battlefield.
Thanks to Dr Galeotti''s wide-ranging contacts throughout Russia, it is also peppered with anecdotes of military life, personal snapshots of conflicts, and an extraordinary collection of first-hand accounts from serving and retired Russian officers. Russia continues to dominate the news cycle throughout the Western world. There is no better time to understand how and why Putin has involved his armed forces in a variety of conflicts for over two decades.> -
