The Invention of Russia: The Rise of Putin and the Age of Fake News

The Invention of Russia traces how a country that once embraced freedom came to be an authoritarian police state, once again bent on conflict with the West. Informed by his role as participant and foreign correspondent, Ostrovsky shares this story through his knowledge of Vladmir Putin's phenomenal rise to power and longevity, his use of militarism and hybrid warfare, and more recently, in how he has entered American politics through creating fake news and weaponizing the media.
