SirRodric Braithwaite, former UK Ambassador to Russia "A well written and vigorously argued book. It is the best overallassessment to date of Putin's foreign policy." Dr Alex Pravda,Director, Russian and East European Centre, St Antony'sCollege, University of Oxford "Bobo Lo's insight into the opaque world of Russian foreign policyis unique. The way perceptions and myths mix with pragmatism andcynicism to form Moscow's outlook on the world is a fascinatingread, which should remain a standard work in its field for a longtime." Konstantin Eggert, BBC Russian Service Bureau Chief inMoscow "This is a Chatham House Paper at its best: the analysis is verywell informed, the argument is succinct and persuasive and thepresentation is accessible. Bobo Lo's examination of Russianforeign policy under Putin is the best work on the subject ...
