| Summary | "Russian Roulette: Russia's Economy in Putin's Era" by Samuel Vaknin is an analytical exploration of Russia's economic landscape during the early 21st century, particularly under the leadership of Vladimir Putin. Written in the early 2000s, the text delves into various aspects of Russia's economy, highlighting the effects of political influence on financial institutions, military restructuring, and the energy sector. The book provides a critical perspective on how historical legacies have shaped contemporary practices in Russia's economic development. The opening of the book presents an overview of the security apparatus and military reform within Russia, introducing the influential role of former KGB and FSB officers in the government. Vaknin discusses the inefficiencies and corruption endemic to the military and how these issues affect Putin's attempts to regain control over the military and regional governments. He shares details about ex-KGB operatives transitioning into business roles during the chaotic post-Communist era, suggesting a blend of criminality and entrepreneurship in the new economy's emergence. This sets the stage for a deeper investigation into Russia's economic transformation and the intertwining of political and economic interests that characterize the Putin era.
