The Tsar Himself. How Vladimir Putin Deceived Us All

25 years ago, Vladimir Putin became the president of Russia. It seems like a sufficient amount of time to learn everything about him. But ask yourself: are you sure you are aware of Putin's real biography?

All this time, Putin has not so much ruled the country as created a legend about himself. A legend in the espionage sense of the word. He invented a biography and an image for himself, or rather different images – depending on the moment, he presented himself as a liberal, then a conservative, then left-wing, then right-wing, and so on many times. To deceive you, he is willing to do anything: kill people, hide and rehide his own wealth, distort reality in the most incredible ways, not shying away from lies about the people he holds dearest.

In this book, we will tell you the true story of Putin, his entourage, and their hypocrisy. Much of what you read, you have never known. Or you might have forgotten. Or you did not attach importance to it.
