Book Night - 'Putin Country: A Journey into the Real Russia' 

The OPC is pleased to host Putin Country: A Journey into the Real Russia, a conversation with author Anne Garrels, former NPR Moscow bureau chief, and Bill Keller, editor-in-chief of The Marshall Project and former Moscow bureau chief of The New York Times.

Putin Country is based on more than two decades of reporting by Garrels in Russia - in particular her frequent and lengthy visits to Chelyabinsk, a gritty, military-industrial center a thousand miles east of Moscow. Her stories from Chelyabinsk, in the Russian heartland, help illuminate the aftershocks of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of Vladimir Putin.

The program will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Club Quarters.
