Features: This book partially introduces Vladimir Putin, his family, close friends, and comrades who have followed him through his life to this day. The author strives to avoid subjectivity and repeatedly verifies the sources of his information. However, achieving this is not easy. Therefore, it is requested that those familiar with the subject show understanding, and the author expresses gratitude for any possible reactions and modifications from the readers. The second part of the book introduces the modern history of Russian intelligence agencies. Putin himself emerged from them and still selects "cadres" from them today. This part is a logical continuation of the first, even serving as its prelude. It provides the necessary historical background for the author's introduction. This book examines the Russian President Vladimir Putin and his inner circle. What kind of person is Putin? Why was he able to rise rapidly on the ladder of power while others struggle their entire lives to overcome it? What did he bring—fire and sword or peace? The author does not intend to influence your views or public opinion. He simply presents his recent research findings for discussion.
