Recenzje

Radnitz takes on one of the most perplexing political phenomena of our time: the use of conspiracy theories by those in power. He shows why and how leaders in post-Soviet countries use conspiracy theories to build coalitions, control information flows, and maintain power. This is an essential read for anyone interested in post-Soviet politics or contemporary conspiracy theories.
