Book Hill Talks - My Russia: What I Saw Inside the Kremlin

As a high-school freshman studying Russian at the height of the Cold War, Jill Dougherty developed an obsession with Russia.

As a high-school freshman studying Russian at the height of the Cold War, Jill Dougherty developed an obsession with Russia. Over the next half-century, she studied in Leningrad, traveled across the USSR, lived in Moscow, and reported on the presidencies of Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Vladimir Putin. She initially belied that Putin was an economic reformer. His quarter-century of repression changed her mind. My Russia charts Russia's evolution through the eyes of an American with rare insight into Russia, its people, and its leaders.
