Fascinating

I’m going to need to re-listen to this because it’s packed full of interesting perspectives. Very well organised and narrated.

Excellent Listen

I listened to all seven of these Audible Originals and found them to be a fascinating expert insight into Russia under Putin.
The writing, production and analysis are all first rate. Thoroughly recommended.

very interesting!

I'd Had so many people talking about Putin's ideas , but its a bit of an eye opener for many people I bet. If what's being portrayed in these parts of the country is all bullshit then why's Putin's reign of the country not being questioned by our governments and the U.S. we seem to be two faced. we're unable to disagree with Putin's ideas in meetings with the president of America and prime minister in England face to face. I am keeping up to date with all the going ons. as this has left me some what undecided now.

Very interesting podcast

Like most people I have a limited knowledge about Russia and it’s leader. This podcast gives an insight into his background, rise to power, key moments in his presidency and ponders on the future for both Putin and the country. Excellent production.

It could have ended stronger.

The series was great. Interesting and terrifying in equal measure. The last entry I felt cast little conjecture on what the future holds. When Putin steps down, if he steps down, then what? More forecasting from analysts would have been good. What state will the economy be left in? Will the remaining establishment hold the power needed to rule outside of Moscow, or will the country be fractured into divisions? I think the episode could have delivered a more expansive look at the future. It was almost like when back in school aged 5, and you have reached the word count for the assignment, then suddenly, "he woke up and it was just a dream. The End. " I felt the summary of this episode was "We don't know. The End"

Fantastic!!

This series was fantastic. Listened as I didn’t know much of Russia’s history. Found myself looking for any opportunity to listen. Brilliant!
