"Before Putin", "after Putin" and "without Putin" are realities that are not usually discussed in Russia. Putin has been around for ages and will always be around, "there is Putin - there is Russia" - that's what propaganda teaches. This is part of the legend invented by the Russian tsar about himself. Finally, it is simply a lie. Much of what you will read in the book, you never knew. Or forgot. Or did not attach any importance to it.

25 years ago, Vladimir Putin became the president of Russia. It would seem that this is a sufficient period to learn everything about him. But ask yourself: are you sure that you are aware of Putin's real biography?
