THE NEW COLD WAR: Putin’s Russia and the Threat to the West
Edward Lucas • 2008
The New Cold War argues that Putin's Russia has reverted to an authoritarian, nationalistic model, posing a direct threat to Western interests. Events like the murder of Anna Politkovskaya and the poisoning of Aleksandr Litvinenko highlight Moscow's aggressive domestic and foreign policies, driven by financial independence from oil wealth and a revised historical narrative. The West's complacency, rooted in greed and wishful thinking, allows Russia to exploit divisions and subvert democratic norms. The book calls for the West to abandon naive approaches, recognize this new era of competition, and defend its values through collective action, energy security, and strict financial regulations against Russia's authoritarian state capitalism.
