Seeing as how fascination with Russia seems to be on the rise in the wake of the latest election and Putin's other maneuvers to maintain power, I thought I'd recommend Andrew Jack's Inside Putin's Russia as a primer on the man and his ways. I'm eager to read also Anna Politkovskaya's Putin's Russia, though that was published in 2004, a year before Jack's book, so for something more current you might want to look elsewhere.
