The presentation applies Michel Foucault's idea of biopower to explain Russia's political evolution under Putin and the roots of Russia's war against Ukraine. He notably uses the concepts of bare life from Giorgio Agamben and necropolitics from Achille Mbembe.
The political genealogy of body-centered structures of power and hegemony in Russia involves their transformation from biopolitics to necropolitics. The necropolitical components (repressive and deadly) are inscribed in biopolitical power regimes: they constitute the core of Putin's power over Russia and are a key factor in the war against Ukraine.
