Putin's Inner Circle

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jun 21, 2017

Journalist Mikhail Zygar, former editor-in-chief of the Russian independent television station TV Rain (Dozhd), joins us to discuss his book, All the Kremlin's Men: Inside the Court of Vladimir Putin.

Instead, Zygar learns about a beleaguered leader who must navigate several different power centers inside the highest levels of the Russian government.
