Putin as Celebrity and Cultural Icon: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Putin as Celebrity and Cultural Icon" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Though in recent months Putins popularity has frayed at the edges, the dearth of comparably powerful and experienced political leaders leaves no doubt that he will continue to be a key political figure. During his tenure as Russias President and subsequently as Prime Minister, Putin transcended politics, to become the countrys major cultural icon. This book examines the nature of his iconic status. It explores his public persona as glamorous hero, endowed with vision, wisdom, moral and physical strength--the man uniquely capable of restoring Russias reputation as a global power. In analysing cultural representations of Putin, the book assesses the role of the media in constructing and disseminating this image and weighs the Russian populaces contribution to the extraordinary acclamation he enjoyed throughout the first decade of the new millennium, challenged only by a tiny minority.

Putin as Celebrity and Cultural Icon
Though in recent months Putins popularity has frayed at the edges, the dearth of comparably powerful and experienced political leaders in Russia leaves no doubt that he will continue to be a key political figure. During his tenure as Russias President and subsequently as Prime Minister, Putin transcended politics, to become the countrys major cultural icon. This book examines the nature of his iconic status. It explores his public persona as glamorous hero, endowed with vision, wisdom, moral and physical strengththe man uniquely capable of restoring Russias reputation as a global power. In analysing cultural representa- tions of Putin, the book assesses the role of the media in constructing and dis- seminating this image and weighs the Russian populaces contribution to the extraordinary acclamation he enjoyed throughout the first decade of the new mil- lennium, challenged only by a tiny minority.
