We Need to Talk About Putin

The book contrasts how the West views Putin with what truly drives him. I wonder how the author decided which aspects to emphasize and whether this perspective changed during the research process.

The detailed background sheds light on Russia’s political landscape, but I found myself questioning whether it simplifies some of the more complex motivations. Would love to hear others' thoughts.

His expertise offers depth, but I’m curious whether this background might bias his analysis or if it provides necessary insight that most writers might miss.
