How did we get from the end of the Cold War to Trump and Putin?

---

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was hailed as the beginning of a new era of peace and co-operation between East and West. But in the years since, Russia has made incursions into Georgia, Ukraine and Syria, leaving the Western powers at a loss. What went wrong?

Drawing on exclusive interviews with key players, Peter Conradi examines the pivotal moments of the past quarter of a century and outlines how we might get relations back on track before it´s too late. Who Lost Russia? provides the essential background to understanding the bizarre and shifting relationship between Trump´s America and Putin´s Russia. This updated edition includes a new chapter on the year following the 2016 US presidential election.
