About this ebook
The full transcript of Oliver Stone’s far-ranging interviews with the Russian President—including substantial material not shown in the documentary.
Academy Award winner Oliver Stone was able to secure what journalists, news organizations, and even other world leaders have long coveted: extended, unprecedented access to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Putin Interviews are culled from more than a dozen interviews with Putin over a two-year period. Never before has the Russian leader spoken in such depth or at such length with a Western interviewer.
No topics are off limits in the interviews, which first occurred during Stone’s trips to meet with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in Moscow and continued until after the election of President Donald Trump. Prodded by Stone, Putin discusses relations between the United States and Russia, allegations of interference in the US election, and Russia’s involvement with conflicts in Syria, Ukraine, and elsewhere across the globe.
Putin speaks about his rise to power and details his relationships with Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, and Trump. The exchanges—which range from frank discussions of geopolitics to a viewing of Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 Cold War satire Dr. Strangelove—are personal, provocative, and at times surreal.
This edition features a foreword by journalist Robert Sheer, as well as references and sources pertaining to the topics covered.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pedantic and boring, this was difficult to continue to read. I bought the book thinking it would shed light on the personality of Putin.The cover review notes "After reading this book, one will wonder why we cannot view Russia in turn as a partner and a friend, especially at a time when our country is so in need of both."Obviously, this book was written way before the current crisis and Putin's invasion of Ukraine.Not recommended.
