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.

Produced by Dasha Lisitsina, Executive Producer Russell Finch.

Mostly start to present. The author did a great job in stating the facts.
It's neither Left or Right leaning which is refreshing in this current era of professional opinions.

As close to objective as it gets

Definitely very biased, but lots of information nonetheless. Somewhat frightening if all the information is accurate.

a powerful tale

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
I knew very little about Putin and his reign, and this was a great introduction. The people participating in the show are extremely well chosen and bring an excellent bit of variety in the episodes.

This is fairly brief and doesn't go into great detail about any of the events, but paints a fairly precise and very little biased view on the situation.

Would recommend!

Great listen for the geopolitically curious

Informative and enjoyable except for the overuse of short musical interludes which just feel like a filler.

A good overview.

I am enjoying this series, plus it is a vast improvement over the generally female-interest British journalist Netflix specials.
