| Title | Kuda drejfujut diktatury? Rossijskaja avtokratija i vtorzhenie v Ukrainu |
| Description | Konstantin Gaaze’s book Where Dictatorships Drift examines the historical evolution of Russian autocracy and argues that its full-scale invasion of a neighbouring country was a logical outcome of that development. Asking why Russia attacked Ukraine, Gaaze immediately rejects two familiar explanations: the idea of an eternal national destiny and the idea that everything can be reduced to the sinister will of one ruler. In their place, he offers the results of a historical and sociological inquiry that began in March 2014 and continued for eleven years. Drawing on internal documents from the Kremlin and the Russian government, as well as on social theory and classic historical works, he shows what pushed a westernised Russian elite into confrontation with the “collective West”. He also examines how the authorities rebuilt Russian society around the needs of war, and why many intellectuals within the system failed to prevent it. Konstantin Gaaze is a sociologist, a winner of the 2017 "Profession: Journalist" prize in the commentary category, and a former Russian official. |
