Putin's rise to power -- Putin in power -- Sinister pretence -- Why money is Russia's greatest strength and our greatest weakness -- The "new tsarism" -- How Eastern Europe sits on the frontline of the new cold war -- Pipeline politics -- Saber-rattling, or selling sabers -- How to win the new cold war.
Summary: "In late 1999 when Vladimir Putin was named Prime Minister, Russia was a budding democracy. Multiple parties campaigned for seats in the Duma, the nation's parliament. The media criticized the government freely. Eight years later as Putin completes his second term as president of Russia and announces his bid for prime minister, the country is under a repressive regime. Human rights abuses are widespread. The Kremlin is openly hostile to the West. Yet the United States and Europe have been slow to confront the new reality, in effect, helping Russia win what experts are now calling the New Cold War
