The investigative book, “The Tsar in Propria Persona: How Vladimir Putin Deceived Us All,” draws upon two decades of journalistic work conducted by Roman Badanin and Mikhail Rubin. The work has garnered significant critical attention, notably after winning the newly established literary award, the “Prix Strasbourg.” This prize is sponsored by the major French regional newspaper group EBRA and its subsidiary, Credit Mutuel Alliance Federale. The publication is scheduled for release in France next month.
According to the judging panel, the work is classified as a spy novel. The jury praised the text as an intriguing and compelling examination of the subject matter, which centers on the figure of Vladimir Putin. The narrative synthesizes extensive investigative reporting to detail the life and actions of the Russian leader.
The recognition from the “Prix Strasbourg” highlights the depth and scope of the material presented in the book. While the source material contains references to current geopolitical discussions, the award-winning text itself focuses on chronicling the historical and political trajectory of the individual at the center of the investigation. The award recognition suggests that the book offers a detailed, narrative account intended for a broad readership interested in contemporary international affairs and political history.
Its success in winning a prestigious literary prize underscores the perceived value of the journalists’ twenty-year effort to document and analyze the political career of Putin.
