The objective is to evaluate Vladimir Putin's anti-Americanism and the political implications of Putinist anti-Americanism within Russia.

The central questions that this study strives to answer are: (1) What are the roots of Vladimir Putin's anti-Americanism and the anti-American tendencies of segments of the Russian populace from the 1990s to the present day; (2) What is the relationship between the progression of Putin's anti-Americanism and the anti-American sympathies of the Russian public; and (3) What are the potential domestic political benefits garnered by Putin's hybrid authoritarian regime as a result of his anti-American rhetoric and policy positions? This study concludes that Vladimir Putin is inherently anti-American and the Russian populace's anti-American mood is directly manipulated by Putin. Putin employs the mechanics of his state to propagate anti-Americanism within Russia for domestic political reasons.
