Paperback. Condición: New. Using the Russian presidents major public addresses as the main source, Bo Petersson analyses the legitimization strategies employed during Vladimir Putins third and fourth terms in office. The argument is that these strategies have rested on Putins highly personalised blend of strongman-image projecti…on and presentation as the embodiment of Russias great power myth. Putin appears as the only credible guarantor against renewed weakness, political chaos, and interference from abroad -- in particular from the US. After a first deep crisis of legitimacy manifested itself by the massive protests in 20112012, the annexation of Crimea led to a lengthy boost in Putins popularity figures. The book discusses how the Crimea effect is, by 2021, trailing off and Putins charismatic authority is increasingly questioned by opposition from Alexei Navalny, the effects of unpopular reforms, and poor handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, Russia is bound to head for a succession crisis as the legitimacy of the political system continues to be built on Putins projected personal characteristics and -- now apparently waning -- charisma, and since no potential heir apparent has been allowed on centre-stage. The constitutional reform of summer 2020 made it possible in theory for Putin to continue as president until 2036. Yet, this change did not address the Russian political systems fundamental future leadership dilemma.
