Putin Country: A Journey into the Real Russia is an incredibly interesting account of the "real" Russia, a Russia in which corruption is a fact of life and support for Putin is surprisingly high. Garrels invites her readers on a journey through Chelyabinsk, where she talks about everything from religion, the rise of HIV/AIDS, and family life to self censorship and domestic nuclear disasters.

For anyone wanting insight into Russia's political system and culture, this book is a must.
