Hi, do you have any further reading/recommended sources on the nationalist revolution of the 90s?

    It wasn't a true revolution, but it was when the nationalists kicked out the liberals who were letting Russia be plundered by the west in "Shock Doctrine." Putin's party took power precisely on a nationalist platform, kicking out the compradors, and thus earned legitimate popularity among the Russian people and western demonization.

    I see. That was certainly a step in the right direction. I'll look into that further, thanks.

    No problem! Sorry that I don't have good reading, I fear most liberal narratives would use it to talk about "the rise of the evil Putin" rather than explain the materialist causes behind the nationalists taking power.
