About this Event

The Manchester City Library invites you to an informative talk on the creation of modern Russia presented by Brandon Gauthier. Join us on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 at 6pm in the Auditorium or via Zoom to better understand one of the biggest players in modern politics.

This library talk examines the history of Vladimir Putin's rise to power and his subsequent authoritarian dictatorship over Russia. Beginning with the Russian leader's time as deputy mayor of St. Petersburg in 1994 and his subsequent rise to power as president of Russia in 2000, the discussion analyzes how Putin used authoritarian tactics to cement his hold on power and eradicate sources of opposition to his leadership. Moreover, the talk highlights how Putin's ideological vision of a newly restored Russian empire--as well as the dictator's deep resentment of U.S. foreign policy--have shaped Russia's actions in the world, including its invasion of Ukraine since 2022.

Brandon K. Gauthier completed his doctorate in Modern History at Fordham University in New York City. He is an Adjunct Professor of History for Fordham University and the Director of Global Education at The Derryfield School. He speaks passionately, and loudly, about his enduring interest in the lives of people--both ordinary and extraordinary--who find themselves caught up in the waves of history.
