Our take on About a Boy: The Story of Vladimir Putin podcast
Hosted by Julia Ioffe, a Russia-born U.S. journalist with bylines in top publications like The New York Times and The New Yorker, About a Boy decodes Vladimir Putin. Forget the stereotypes of Putin as just a KGB guy or judo champ. Ioffe takes you to the 'dvor,' a communal yard where Putin learned life's hard rules.
