Putin nut or genius

Putin and this past 20 years have been fascinating. Although the underdog in regards to his country, he is certainly a force to be reckoned with. The question is will he or won't he oress that nuclear button. Personally I think he will go down in history as the man that killed his own ego and the destruction of his own country si he could keep his credibility.
on one side I think he's a superb master of poker on the other side a maniac out of control.
he's a master of playing a bad hand fantastically.

Get it a listen

Most of the reviews here are by people who are so pro Putin’s and Stalin’s Russia and with the current war in the Ukraine puts a lot of the comments to shame. Give it a listen, interesting information and a quite pleasing narration

Terrifying and fascinating in equal measure

This was very well produced. It had the feel of a polished documentary. Really helped me to see the Russian perspective.

Vladimir Putin's first two decades.

A very interesting and informative piece of history. With the present situation in Ukraine becoming the obvious unwritten chapter. It also left me wondering about governments in the west and what the agenda of their leaders might be? I’d love to read similar interpretations of Angela Merkel's, Boris Johnson's and Barak Obama's rise to power.
I recommend it to anyone who is interested in world politics.

I'm become more interested in this ...

I've had this podcast for a while. I finally am interested in this (wacko) man. I listened to the whole series tonight. Now we need a part 8!
