""Shortlisted for the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize"" ""[Frye’s] research is impressive. This timely, evidence-based account persuades."" * Publishers Weekly * ""With deft prose, deep and insightful analysis, and considerable supporting evidence, Frye not only counters, but dismantles, the overly simplistic and lazy narratives of Russia under Putin.""---Joshua Huminski, Diplomatic Courier ""Frye’s splendid book is a major contribution to the literature.""---Alexander Brakel, Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs ""Like a fine wine, [Weak Strongman] is the product of a lifetime’s work, and it provides one of the best insights into the dilemmas facing a system whose power appeared so strong, yet was manifestly weak ... Frye’s insights are invaluable in helping us understand how Russia was governed.""---Richard Sakwa, Slavic Review
