Rifat Shaikhutdinov helps the reader to master the terminology used in Western perceptions of real power and politics: biopower, symbolic power, soft power technologies, communication codes, intentions, consciousness orientation and other. The book is intended for those wishing to understand the nature and ethos of Russian power. Happy pursuit!
The author is an unwearying and successful seeker of Power – the perpetually elusive substance that is so readily cursed by peoples, which, however, cannot do without it. What is the mystery of power and what is its nature?
