Putin may now calculate he can call off the dogs of war, having achieved his aims and able to pocket his gains very cheaply. The Georgia campaign becomes the triumphant climax of Putinism. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/aug/16/georgia.russia1

2008 August 16, Ian Traynor, “Six days that broke one country - and reshaped the world order”, in The Guardian:

And so it was Surkov who in 2004 announced that Putinism, this strange new hybrid of Soviet-type authoritarianism and free-market morals, was based on the concept of ‘sovereign democracy’.

2014, Marc Bennetts, Kicking the Kremlin: Russia’s New Dissidents and the Battle to Topple Putin, Oneworld Publications:

Appointed foreign minister in 2004, he has since then through successive US administrations developed a Putinesque revulsion for all western ideas, if not all western consumer durables.

The Putin cult is most visible in his native St. Petersburg. The city is in the vanguard of Putinomania. One local sculptor is preparing a bronze bust. […] The pompous celebrations in 2003 marking the 300th anniversaiy of the founding of the city threw oil on the flames of Putinomania.

2017 February 22, Keith Gessen, “Killer, kleptocrat, genius, spy: the many myths of Vladimir Putin”, in The Guardian:

The study or analysis of Vladimir Putin (born 1952), Russian politician, president of Russia.
