Putin: man of the millennium?
Twenty years of the Russian strongman.
In 2000 a relatively unknown man called Vladimir Putin came to power in Russia. While his European and American counterparts have come and gone, Putin has stayed in the Kremlin for the past 20 years.
In this episode we speak to Vitaly Shevchenko from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Russian Monitoring Service to find out how Putin came to power and how he has kept it. We also talk to Maria Korienko and Katherine Zeveleva from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s bureau in Moscow to find out what life is like for young Russians who have grown up knowing only Putin as the person in charge.
