The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin by Masha Gessen
3.0
The writing included a little too much personal opinion for my taste. While I find Russian history fascinating, by almost halfway I hadn't really learned much about Putin yet.
I got the feeling that the entire book is supposition. There are facts but how they pertain to Putin is entirely opinion. It reads like a blog, a well done one, but still one persons opinion on how things were/are. Well educated guesses but still guesses. Some of it can come across as a bit conspiracy theory.
And the conclusion that Russia hasn't changed as much as the West thought is entirely unsurprising.
