Is Vladimir Putin a strategic genius — or a myth the West invented?
For more than two decades, Vladimir Putin has dominated Western headlines. He has been portrayed as supervillain, strongman, and master strategist — always calculating, always decisive, always one step ahead.
But what if this image tells us as much about the West as it does about Russia?
In The Putin Myth: How the West Invented Its Favorite Villain, Andrew Riffkin delivers a provocative and deeply analytical exploration of how one political leader became a global archetype. Blending political analysis with psychological insight, this book examines how media narratives, cultural anxieties, and geopolitical uncertainty combined to construct a figure larger than life.
The Putin myth is not simply propaganda or exaggeration. It is projection. It reflects Western fears of decline, fascination with strength, longing for decisiveness, and the human tendency to turn complex systems into stories about singular villains.
Moving beyond headlines and archetypes, the book dissects:
How the image of the “supervillain” took shape
Why strongman leadership fascinates democratic societies
The illusion of strategic omniscience
The institutional realities of power behind the persona
How myth shapes Western foreign policy and threat perception
Sharp, timely, and intellectually rigorous, The Putin Myth challenges readers to reconsider not only how they see Putin, but how they see power itself. This is not a defense. It is not an attack. It is an invitation to think more clearly.
In an era of polarized narratives and escalating tensions, understanding the difference between myth and mechanism has never been more important.
