Putin's Russia is a political commentary book by the Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya about life in Russia under Vladimir Putin. Politkovskaya argues that Russia still has aspects of a police state or mafia state, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin. In a review, Angus Macqueen wrote: Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this collection is that it feels like a Soviet-era dissident's book. Her pieces have that slightly desperate pitch of someone who fears no one is listening - that her own people have given up and that the outside world does not want to hear, or worse, does not care.

  • Putin's Russia is a political commentary book by the Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya about life in Russia under Vladimir Putin. Politkovskaya argues that Russia still has aspects of a police state or mafia state, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin. In a review, Angus Macqueen wrote: Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this collection is that it feels like a Soviet-era dissident's book. Her pieces have that slightly desperate pitch of someone who fears no one is listening - that her own people have given up and that the outside world does not want to hear, or worse, does not care. Politkovskaya described an army in which conscripts are tortured and hired out as slaves. She described judges who are removed from their positions or brutally assaulted on the street for not following instructions "from above" to let criminals go. She describes particular areas in Russia dominated and operating under insensitive companies or cold oligarchs that resemble brutal mafia bosses, with ex-military and special services personnel to aid them. She condemns routine kidnappings, murders, rape, and torture of people in Chechnya by Russian military, exemplified by Yuri Budanov. She mentions the decayed state and minimally financed conditions of the Russian Pacific Fleet and nuclear arsenal in Vladivostok. She describes the persistence of the infamous Moscow Serbsky Institute of psychiatry and Dr. , who was notorious for torturing Soviet dissidents in "psikhushkas" of the 1960s and 1970s, often using drugs such as haloperidol. She tells the story of , a petty criminal who became "the leading industrialist and deputy of the legislature", as a prototype "New Russian". Politkovskaya accuses Vladimir Putin and FSB of stifling all civil liberties and promoting corruption to further the establishment of an authoritarian regime, but tells that "it is we who are responsible for Putin's policies" in the conclusion: Society has shown limitless apathy... As the Chekists have become entrenched in power, we have let them see our fear, and thereby have only intensified their urge to treat us like cattle. The KGB respects only the strong. The weak it devours. We of all people ought to know that. (en)
  • La Russia di Putin è un libro scritto dalla giornalista russa Anna Politkovskaja, pubblicato nel 2004. L'autrice, assassinata appena due anni dopo, vi racconta la vita nella moderna Russia, sotto il dominio di Vladimir Putin, allora agli esordi del suo lungo e incontrastato potere. Politkovskaja intravede e denuncia l'involuzione in atto nel suo Paese, ravvisandovi le caratteristiche di uno stato di polizia o stato mafioso. Nella spia del KGB arrivata inaspettatamente al vertice del potere russo nel 1999, che nel libro rimane tuttavia sullo sfondo, l'autrice individua la tabe di un sistema politico avviato inesorabilmente a reprimere la libertà di parola e le speranze di una vita democratica. A lei interessa documentare la vita comune dei russi, raccolta attraverso viaggi e interviste varie dei connazionali, che aiutano la scrittrice a tratteggiare la società russa dei primi anni Duemila. Nei suoi pezzi qui raccolti, lei ammonisce disperatamente, come una Cassandra inascoltata dal mondo, che il popolo ormai si sia rassegnato e ricaduto nuovamente alla sua atavica abulia. Mentre all'estero, nota lei, a nessuno interessa il corso politico preso dalla Russia. Il libro, uscito già nel 2005 in Italia, è entrato nella classifica dei libri più venduti nella primavera 2022 con l'uscita dell'edizione tascabile, opportunamente ristampato dopo la sanguinaria invasione russa dell'Ucraina decisa da Putin.
