The enigma Putin, who is this indecipherable man?
In power since the end of 1999, Vladimir Putin, 70 years old next October, fascinates. Since he declared war on Ukraine, the West no longer understands this man. Decryption in 5 shots.
For Vladimir Putin, Ukraine, this brother country with ancient historical and cultural ties, should never have left Moscow.

Vladimir Poutine. The name that turns in all Western chancelleries. Prime Minister twice, but above all elected four times at the head of the Kremlin, he orchestrated a constitutional reform in 2020 which, beyond the next presidential election in 2024, would allow him to remain in power until… 2036. And since he declared war on Ukraine, the West no longer understands this man.
In the 1980s, Putin (here in KGB uniform) was an inglorious spy in East Germany.
