Shortly after his impressive rise as the potential successor to Boris Yeltsin, the myth of Vladimir Putin began to weave itself throughout the Russian nation.
Soon, Putin, once a “little clerk” of the KGB, effectively became the new “tsar” of Russia. Twice elected president of a former superpower that had long become a shadow of its former self, he seized all powers, relentlessly pursued the very oligarchs who had brought him into the political arena, and favored the infiltration of veterans from the intelligence services into the ranks of the Kremlin.
And yet, even if he often presented an old-fashioned Cold War mentality to the world, even if he supported anti-democratic sentiments, he managed to convince many and make the New Russians “nationally proud.”
Who is Mr. Putin and what is the new Russia?
