    If you want to get to the root of why Putin came to power, devote a full episode to what happened during the 1990s across the former Soviet Union. I lived and worked there during that time and it was a deadly anarchy. There's a reason regular people got behind him. They saw what the alternative looked like. Russia is a hard, hard place with a collective trauma people in the modern west can't begin to get their heads round.

    Great video, super interesting. One critique: the background music is a bit overpowering. It’s a little difficult to hear the dialogue without CC on over the music

    The ability of some people to be hawk eyed observers of Government antics in other nations, that they singularly fail to see in their own country, is truly depressing.

    So many psychics predict his death. He has been predicted to be dead every year. Guess he has 7 lives.😂😂
