"In their new book, Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin, Fiona Hill and Clifford Gaddy take a closer look at Russian president Vladimir Putin's governing style through the lenses of several distinct identities. In this first of five video blog posts, Hill and Gaddy examine Putin as "statist", appointed to serve the Russian state and restore its greatness."

I don't believe Vladimir Putin the President of the Russian Federation is a Communist. But he does represent the new statism or reformed statism in Russia and is certainly not a Liberal-Democrat, orr even a Conservative. But someone who believes that the role of government is to preserve the state. And to look after the state the country as a whole, even if that means limiting individual freedom. And centralizing more power with the Federal Government in Russia and with the Kremlin itself.

Vladimir Putin is Russia's version of a Nationalist in America, not completely authoritarian, not a Communist, not believing that all power in the country should be controlled by the Federal Government. But someone who values the state and order in the country over freedom and thats how he's governed there.
