Tonight (Monday), CBS-affiliated Showtime begins The Putin Interviews, a four-night series of interview excerpts with Russian President Vladimir Putin, conducted by far-left film maker Oliver Stone who, judging by a previous series on Showtime, has an affinity for KGB-connected strongmen.

Back in 2012, during a segment on Showtime’s Untold History of the United States, Stone asserted the “lion’s share of credit” for ending the Cold War goes not to former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, but to former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev. Stone hailed the communist as “a true visionary” and “the real democrat.”
