The final chapter offers insights by Putin into his life and principles of leadership. We see Putin making candid observations about Russia and its people, sparring with journalists and human rights activists, alternately challenging and admiring Europe and the United States while setting out his vision as a pragmatic conservative leader intent on developing his country and defending its interests in the world. A reference book for students of international affairs and the general public. Are the media being fair on Putin? Read him for yourself and make up your own mind.
