Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century is a political science book by Russian economist Sergey Guriyev and American political scientist Daniel Treisman. It examines how modern dictators and autocrats – pioneered by Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore and Alberto Fujimori of Peru, and replicated by Vladimir Putin of Russia, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey, and Viktor Orbán of Hungary[1] – focus more on propaganda methods such as spin, disinformation, and psychologically keeping their populations in fear of the Other (imagocracy), instead of the more overtly brutal methods of political repression favoured by dictators of the past such as Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union or Mao Zedong of China.
