Whipple, a veteran journalist and author, spent years traveling throughout Russia, from the bustling streets of Moscow to the remote villages of Siberia. He talked to people from all walks of life, from government officials to ordinary citizens, and he gained a unique perspective on the country's complex history, culture, and politics.

In Putin Country, Whipple paints a vivid portrait of a country that is both vibrant and contradictory. He describes the beauty of the Russian countryside, the warmth of the Russian people, and the resilience of the Russian spirit. But he also confronts the challenges that Russia faces, including corruption, poverty, and a lack of political freedom.

At the center of Putin Country is Vladimir Putin, Russia's enigmatic president. Whipple provides a nuanced and insightful portrait of Putin, a man who has both been praised and vilified. He explores Putin's rise to power, his policies, and his impact on Russia and the world.

Putin Country is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand Russia today. Whipple's book is a fascinating and informative look at a country that is both familiar and foreign, both alluring and frustrating. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
