Putin on the ritz submitted by romanticmind on July 11, 2015, 10:38am This is a fascinating look at Vladimir Putin. It definitely comes with Gessen's own biases, but also paints a pretty informative picture of the leader of modern Russia.

Wonderful submitted by kernelenchilada on June 17, 2017, 11:19am Really fascinating look at Russia's modern history and Putin's rise to power. Gessen pulls no punches and is not afraid to let you draw your own conclusions. Reads like a novel, rather than a political history book.
