Roman Badanin and Mikhail Rubin, founders of the investigative outlet Proekt, have published a nearly 800-page biography of Vladimir Putin after fleeing Russia in 2021. The Tsar in Person, which won France's Grand Prix Strasbourg, portrays Putin as a modern-day tsar without ideology or convictions, capable of limitless cruelty. The authors say they faced a choice between prison and exile.
