The author explores Uvarov's triad in the context of modern Russia, adding five more traits: exceptionalism, expansionism, historical primordialism, worship of the military, and glorification of suffering. The author argues that, as presently constituted, Russia cannot become a democracy, and, sooner than later, it will disintegrate, replicating the fate of the Soviet Union. The key reasons for these, according to the author, are: weak mechanisms for the transition of power, poorly developed institutions of the state, feeble economy and education, frail ideology, and, most importantly, the lack of a unified national identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing this assessment, the author defines a strategy for dealing with Russia, based on a combination of offensive realism and realpolitik, recommending that the West copes with Russia in a more pragmatic manner. The book includes the author's translation of a unique historical document from the 1860s: a pamphlet calling for the independence of Siberia on the example of the American revolution.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Eltsovis assistant professor of international security affairs at National Defense University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 08, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50354525208813,"sku":"9781793602404","price":77.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/PCv8LGLst09781793602404.webp?v=1785317347","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/the-long-telegram-2-0-a-neo-kennanite-approach-to-russia-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
