Putin is now considered by Forbes as the world's greatest politician. Who really is Vladimir Putin, Russia's president or prime minister in alternating rounds? How was it possible for a KGB employee in eastern Germany to create a career that paved the way right up to the Russian Federation's highest service positions? The Russian-born author and military historian Vera Efron has now lifted a large number of stones and can show how a determined and ruthlessly career hungry power man can reach the very top. She portrays how Putin has cleverly been able to exploit political conditions, creating a network of contacts in the civil and military administration but also how the rivals for power have been eliminated, imprisoned, forced to exile or just silenced. A picture emerges of Putin as a kind of renaissance prince in a modern style for which not even war is a barrier to achieve his goals. And the goal is to be part of history as a powerful president of the world's most powerful country. For all who want to understand today's Russia in general and Putin in particular, this book is a must.
