We’ve all heard stories about the Russian dictator. But who is the real Vladimir Putin? Greg Olear talks to Andrew S. Weiss of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace about what’s happening in Putin’s Russia, what he learned about Putin in his experience with the National Security Council, the State Department, and the Pentagon, and his new non-fiction graphic novel, “Accidental Czar: The Life and Lies of Vladimir Putin.” Plus: White Lotus returns!
