About a Boy: The Story of Vladimir Putin
Audacy Studios | PuckThe West's obsession with Vladimir Putin's KGB past often misses the biographical detail that can be captured by a single word: dvor. The word means courtyard in Russian, but to a Russian speaker, it is evocative of a whole universe. It was the space where Putin, like so many Soviet kids of his generation, grew up and learned an unforgiving, often brutal social code. Puck journalist Julia Ioffe introduces Westerners to that universe and explains why itβs critical to understanding the Russian president and what he might do next in the war against Ukraine.
