Title: Hatchet Job
Product review: A book with a lot of potential by authors with obvious familiarity with their subject matter that devolves into an unpersuasive hatchet job on the Putin government. The authors are quick to find fault with seemingly all aspects of modern Russia, failing in the meantime to acknowledge and explain the enormity of the challenges facing that nation and giving credit for progress and achieved successes. A truly objective look at both the failures and the successes of Putin and post-Soviet Russia would have been more informative and persuasive. The authors seem to have an agenda, which is not well disguised.
