The Putin Plan - In His Own Words
Sovereignty, National Revival, and Kremlin Statecraft in a Changing Global OrderBy Vladimir Putin
Length35h 14m
About this audiobook
The Putin Plan: In His Own Words presents a concentrated account of Vladimir Putin's political thinking through speeches, statements, and public interventions associated with his leadership of post-Soviet Russia. Its organizing themes include national sovereignty, state authority, economic modernization, security, relations with the West, and Russia's place in global affairs. Rather than unfolding as a conventional autobiography, the book belongs to the tradition of political self-portraiture: its direct, declarative style seeks to establish coherence between policy and principle while shaping the reader's understanding of events. Read in the context of Russia's turbulent transition after 1991, it offers an illuminating example of contemporary political rhetoric and the uses of historical narrative in legitimizing power. Putin, a former KGB officer who entered national prominence during the institutional and economic crises of the 1990s, writes from the perspective of a leader intent on restoring governmental capacity and national confidence. His emphasis on order, continuity, and strategic autonomy reflects both his professional formation and his interpretation of Russia's recent history. The volume is therefore inseparable from the political project it articulates: the reconstruction of a strong, centralized state. This book will interest readers of political history, international relations, and modern Russian studies. It is especially valuable when read critically, alongside independent scholarship, as a primary-source document revealing how power explains itself and seeks public consent.
