Post-Putin: Russia We Will Have to Live With for the Next 50 Years — Vadym Denysenko & Vitaliy Pirovych

Post-Putin is a forward-looking political analysis co-written by Ukrainian analysts Vadym Denysenko and Vitaliy Pirovych. In roughly 240 pages, the authors dissect the structure and dynamics of the Putin regime and project how Russia might evolve in the decades following his decline or exit. They argue that Putin already distrusts the security apparatus and is shifting power into a broader “political system.” By exploring how relationships with elites, security services, and institutional norms have changed, they propose which figures and forces are likely to shape Russia’s future. This book is essential for policymakers, political watchers, and anyone seeking to understand the trajectory of a major geopolitical actor.
