The Red Mirror
Putin's Leadership and Russia's Insecure Identity
Book • 2020
In *The Red Mirror*, Gulnaz Sharafutdinova uses social identity theory to explain Putin's leadership by highlighting how he articulates a shared collective perspective that unites many Russian citizens.
The book explores how the Kremlin's media machine transforms feelings of shame and humiliation into pride and patriotism, culminating in the annexation of Crimea in 2014.
However, this strategy also leads to political confrontation and economic stagnation, suggesting that Russian elites should focus on more constructive ideas for the country's future.
