Putin’s biography from the creators of Proekt
How Vladimir Putin deceived us all.

Verstka Media: Badanin and Rubin present a detailed look at Vladimir Putin’s path to power and the methods of holding onto it. The authors, who have followed the Russian president for years, analyze the key moments of his political career and reveal the mechanisms that allowed him to concentrate unprecedented power in his hands and rise to the top of an unprecedented pyramid of corruption.
