The Man Without a Face is a gripping biography by Masha Gessen that chronicles Vladimir Putin's troubling rise from a low-level KGB operative to the presidency of Russia. Awarded the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Opinion Writing, Gessen offers a courageous and incisive indictment of Putin, highlighting how he dismantled democratic progress while consolidating power and silencing dissent. Drawing on unique firsthand experiences and untapped resources, Gessen presents an unsettling portrait of a "faceless" man who reshaped not only Russia but also posed a global threat.
