   Yes he did but it’s not commercially available.. you might find a copy if you have a contact in a Russian Judo School though. There are extracts you can find on youtube…

   He coauthored a book as well..

   Judo: History, Theory, Practice

   Authors Vladimir Putin, Vasily Shestakov, and Alexy Levitsky give a complete history of judo, from its origins in Japanese jujitsu through its development into an Olympic sport, including Russia’s contributions to the art. The rules and basic concepts are covered, followed by detailed instruction in break-falling, throwing techniques, and ground grappling. Judo theory is examined, and key practice points are presented, as well as strategies for the beginner and an exploration of kuzushi, Judo’s art of unbalancing. Lastly, the authors present the self-defense techniques of judo and introduce the unique Russian art of combat sambo.

   Here’s a link for that book…

   I’m certain it was more of a Pro-Russia, Pro-Putin, let’s got back to communism propaganda piece than anything. Everything he does is that way.
