À propos de cet audio

On New Year’s Eve 1999, a young Vladimir Putin appeared on Russian TV screens — awkward, self-conscious... and the new President. Two decades later, Putin is still in power, standing self-assured and at ease on the world stage. How did a once little known KGB bureaucrat become one of the most dominant figures of twenty first century politics?

In this gripping narrative history, Misha Glenny, journalist and best-selling author of McMafia, tells the story of an unexpected and swift rise to power — one full of political intrigue, backroom deals, courtroom battles and war.

Insider Kremlin accounts and well-known journalists reveal how Putin was first chosen by Yeltsin and the Oligarchy and how he then went head to head with Russia’s richest man. After Putin had consolidated power he needed to stay in power. The second half of the series tells the story of how he took over the media, Crimea and increased the powers of the KGB. Finally, Misha considers what Putin might do next.

Delivery is great, voice acting, music work, interesting stories, but bringing a bunch of people that are specialists that end up commentating or throwing accusations without backing it up with clear evidence just leaves a bit of a biased taste in the ears.

Delivery is great but leaves room for “where the evidence?”

While I found it interesting to learn more about Putin's beginning in politics, I kept feeling that the episodes were only scratching the surface while important questions left unanswered.

Hungry for more...

This is a great series. So interesting to learn more about Putin.

Only critique is that this is supposed to play like a podcast, but audible is not set up well for this and treats every episode as a book.

I was listening on my computer and an episode would just restart at the end instead of go to the next.

So interesting! Bad format

Excellent concise history and a bit scary for future prospects, especially the Trump - Putin interactions.

Excellent podcast

very interesting would recommend to people with an interest in any politician as Putin is that relevant.

Easy listen.

I am not a Putin supporter, yet I couldn't help thinking that I was listening to anti-Putin propaganda. I was hoping for a more detailed description of his policies. I heard nothing that I did not already know. If you have been reading the news regularly you can skip this one !

Meh

It was so interesting to listen to this background info on Putin. I suspected something is not clean, but to this extend was beyond my imagination. Really well done.

I doubt I would have ever taken the time to read on it.

Never thought I wanted to know

Really found this informative! Only thing I would have liked is more at the end, talking about next steps & maybe how the west can deal with Putin.

Great insight into Putin’s power

I loved it. As a Polish person, knowing the oppression and the ways of KGB... Now living in the west, I found it very fascinating and on target documentary. Great job!
