Putin: Power, Legacy, and the Making of a Modern Tsar is a compelling exploration of Vladimir Putin's rise to power, unrelenting rule, and global impact. From his humble beginnings in post-war Leningrad to becoming Russia's longest-serving leader since Joseph Stalin, Putin's story is one of ambition, strategic brilliance, and ruthless control.
The book traces Putin's path from his KGB career to political prominence, showcasing how he outmaneuvered rivals, neutralized opposition, and transformed Russia into a powerful yet isolated global force. Through wars in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine, Putin reshaped Europe's geopolitical map while defying the West and provoking sanctions.
This narrative also examines Russia's internal politics, including crackdowns on dissent, media control, and economic manipulation through a network of loyal oligarchs. It highlights key turning points, such as the annexation of Crimea, intervention in Syria, and Ukraine's invasion, revealing Putin's pursuit of a restored Russian empire driven by historical ambition and nationalist ideology.
Balancing historical analysis with real-time events, this book goes beyond the headlines to uncover the complex forces that made Putin a modern-day tsar. His legacy-whether as a strategic genius or a global pariah-remains unfinished, leaving Russia's future and the world's stability hanging in the balance.
