The author carefully documents how the Russian leadership switched from a frame of a weak state to a strong state before edging back toward a discourse of an embattled state threatened by external enemiesand their domestic collaboratorsa theme that emerged by 2004. --P.

Rutland, Wesleyan University, CHOICE Aglaya Snetkovs monograph largely resolves many of these complexities through a variety of analytical techniques. She sets forth a convincing periodisation of Russias security pathways from the time Vladimir Putin was appointed prime minister in 1999 to the key caesurae of Russias annexation of Crimea in 2014. She includes a running case study of Chechnya as an object of Russias security policies and discourses over this timeframe, thereby mitigating the pitfall of adopting an overly conceptual approach to the subject. In addition, in her comprehensive analytical framework she is attentive to desecuritisation processes, which are most clearly reflected in Chechnyas evolution from state-breaker to state-maker... Snetkovs volume provides a rich investigative agenda for the Russian security specialist. -- RAYMOND TARAS, Tulane University, Europe-Asia Studies
