    Summary note
    This book examines Russian public opinion, culture and society in the context of the lies, liars and untruths consistent with, but not exclusively part of, the rule of Russia's second (and fourth) post-Soviet President Vladimir Putin. It also assesses what future there is for Russia in view of Russia's peculiar socio-political culture of parallel truth and untruth.
