At Last Some Balance!!

I have for some time become more and more sceptical of the western narrative relating to Putin.
I've spent some time reading Russian literature and looked into the geopolitical history of Russia and USSR and have gained an insight into Russian culture.
As the shades have come away from my eyes over recent years relating to the US deep state, CIA and presidents of the last couple of decades, I've found myself wondering about where truth really is to be found.
It has occurred to me since February 2022, what if Putin is actually the only politician telling the truth?
I've made a point of trying to get to know the politician and the man, a man who is obviously flawed, as we all are. I've learnt much about the Russian side of the story from American geopolitical experts and professors and read trusted transcriptions and subtitled speeches & interviews, They all help to paint a picture that looks identical to the analysis provided by this biography.
I urge anyone with doubts about the western narrative or simply wondering if what Putin says about the genesis of the Ukraine might be correct to listen to this book with an open mind.
