“WITH SUBSTANTIAL MATERIAL NOT CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTARY”

Academy Award champion Oliver Stone was able to secure what journalists, information organizations, as well as other world market leaders have long coveted: extended, unprecedented access to Russian Chief executive Vladimir Putin.

The Putin Interviews are culled from greater than a dozen interviews with Putin more than a two-year span—never before has the Russian leader spoken in such depth or at such length having a Western interviewer. No topics are off limits in about The Putin Interviews: Oliver Stone Interviews Vladimir Putin the interviews, which 1st occurred during Stone’s trips to meet up with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in Moscow and most recently following the election of President Donald Trump.

Prodded by Rock, Putin talks about relations between the USA and Russia, allegations of interference in the US election, and Russia’s involvement with issues in Syria, Ukraine, and elsewhere across the globe. Putin speaks about his rise to power and information his human relationships with Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, and Trump. The exchanges are personal, provocative, and at times surreal. At one stage, Stone asks, “Why did Russia hack the election?”; at another, Rock presents him to Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 Chilly War satire “”Dr. Strangelove,”” which the two watch together.

Stone has interviewed controversial globe market leaders before, including Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and Benjamin Netanyahu. But The Putin Interviews, in its unmediated usage of perhaps one of the most enigmatic and powerful men in the globe, can only end up being set alongside the series of interactions between David Frost and Richard Nixon we now refer to as “The Nixon Interviews” of 1977.

The book will also contain references and sources that give readers a deeper knowledge of the topics covered in the interviews and make for a more robust reading experience.”
