"The Return of the Firebird, Evgeny Plushenko an image of the New Russia is about Russian figure skating and the world most decorated figure skater Evgeny Plushenko's sporting career intertwined with political and socio-economical changes of the last decades in Russia. In this scientific biography the author described the athlete like the precursor of a new style in Russian men figure skating after the classical and balanced style of the Soviet era. Plushenko became a sports icon and a popular male figure of the New Russia, the successor to the defunct Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, whose social values ceded the place to a Russian culture of glamour, luxuriance and excess, remembering the gleaming image and the turbulent flame of the mythical... Firebird."
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
I suppose my work would interest Evgeny Plushenko's fans, figure skating spectators, journalists and commentators specialized in this discipline. I hope it will also contribute to the progress of the biography as genre in Social Sciences by rebuilding the historical context in which Plushenko realized his exceptional achievements, the environment that made them possible and contextual elements that explain his destiny in its uniqueness.
