Book Summary

Putin and the Rise of Russia (2008/2009) offers an insider-informed and historically grounded portrait of Vladimir Putin’s ascent from relative obscurity to the presidency, and the contours of post‑Yeltsin Russia under his leadership and that of Dmitry Medvedev. Michael Stuermer, drawing on years of interviews—many via the Valdai Discussion Club—depicts Putin as a man shaped by KGB training, yet unafraid to reposition Russia’s state apparatus around intelligence figures and energy elites. The book analyzes the revitalization of Russian industry, the bolstering of military capabilities, demographic trends, and Russia’s reliance on petroleum revenues. While some critics find the narrative dense and occasionally poorly organized, many praise it as an essential corrective to Western monolithic views of Russia and a thoughtful exploration of the country's emerging autocratic-but-stable model.

About the Author

Michael Stürmer is a respected German historian and journalist, and Professor of History at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. He has held visiting fellowships at Harvard, Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study, the Sorbonne, the University of Toronto, and Johns Hopkins. As chief correspondent for Die Welt, he has engaged closely with Russian political elites over decades. His work—spanning subjects from modern Germany to Middle East politics—reflects a broad, comparative historical lens. Putin and the Rise of Russia was informed in part by his long-standing access to the Valdai forum, offering readers both academic rigor and first-hand journalistic insight
