The Putin Interviews

PUBLISHER’S DISCLAIMER:

The following is a transcript of a series of interviews conducted between Oliver Stone and Vladmir Putin, on four separate trips to Russia for a total of nine days between July 2, 2015 and February 10, 2017. Since Putin’s words were translated from Russian, we took the liberty of fixing grammar, unclear language, and various inconsistencies. And because the interviews took place over a two year period, we edited out some repetition. In all cases, we did the very best we could to ensure that the intent and meaning of what was said was accurately reflected in the transcript.
