Recenzje

"Etkind situates Putin's 2022 war in a much bigger story about Russian history and the country's role as a major oil producer in a world facing a climate crisis. A concise book packed with big ideas."Shaun Walker, The Guardian"a sophisticated and sustained critique of Putin's Russia... Etkind has published an important essay that stimulates rational thinking about fundamental issues that affect us all."Eurasian Geography and Economics"The most thought-provoking of the new crop of books about the war in Ukraine is Alexander Etkind's quick and incisive Russia Against Modernity."The New York Times"Etkind combines brevity and playfulness with a degree of erudition that other works covering the Russia-Ukraine conflict seldom manage."Jon Richardson, Inside Story
