New graphic novel on the life of Putin

[Opti]

I think Putin, age 69, wants to solidify his legacy and bring back former parts of the Soviet Union like Ukraine. Found this while reading some articles on him and the current situation.

Cunningham traces Putin’s life from his childhood as a schoolyard bully in Leningrad to his service as a Soviet-era bureaucrat in the KGB. Once the Soviet Union fell in the early 90s, Putin had a knack for attaching himself to people who could advance his career and move him closer to the center of power. By the time Russian President Boris Yeltsin had declined into an alcohol-soaked caricature, Putin was ready to step in as Prime Minister and become Yeltsin’s designated successor in 2000.



The book chronicles how Putin spent his early years in office consolidating his power, systematically eliminating sources of dissent (from journalists and opposition parties) and competition (from Russia’s corrupt and wealthy oligarchs), while botching some of the crises he faced from terrorists and separatists through his cold-blooded disregard for human life.
