普丁正傳

Understanding the roots of Putin's rise can shed light on his later decisions. I'm curious what drove the author to explore these formative years in such detail.

The book reveals a lot about the cunning and sometimes brutal tactics used to consolidate power. It made me wonder how much of this was planned versus reactive.

Putin's persona feels layered and multifaceted. I'm interested in whether the author aimed for a nuanced depiction or leaned into a particular narrative.
