Putin’s War on Ukraine.

Ramani, Samuel (2023), ISBN: 9781787388512, HURST.

The book discusses the reason why Putin started the war based on domestic factors rather than systematic factors. It states that Putin wants to unify Russians based on common principles which inspired the military actions Russia took over the last decades. 

“This book argues that Putin’s policy of global counter-revolution is driven not by systemic factors, such as preventing NATO expansion, but domestic ones: the desire to unite Russians around common principles and consolidate his personal brand of authoritarianism. This objective has inspired military interventions in Crimea, Donbas and Syria, and now all-out war against Kyiv.”
