Description
This Routledge academic text examines Vladimir Putin's transformation from political leader to major cultural icon within Russia. The book explores how Putin's public persona was constructed and presented as a glamorous hero embodying vision, wisdom, and moral and physical strength-positioned as the figure uniquely capable of restoring Russia's global standing. Through detailed analysis, the work investigates the nature of his iconic status during his tenure as President and Prime Minister, providing scholarly insight into the intersection of politics and celebrity culture in contemporary Russia. Part of the respected BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies, this volume offers academic readers and students a rigorous examination of how political leadership becomes cultural mythology and the mechanisms through which national identity is shaped through personality-driven narratives.
