More about the book

The authors explore the role of biopolitics in shaping Russia's authoritarianism under Putin, emphasizing a shift that utilizes regulatory mechanisms to control the human body. This biopolitical framework influences various societal issues, including sexuality and family planning, establishing boundaries for political identity. By contrasting a conservative Russian identity with a liberal West, the text delves into how these power structures evolve into necropolitics, highlighting their significance in Putin's governance and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
