>”You want to know who Vladimir Putin is, young man? Vladimir Putin is a lieutenant colonel of the KGB. And do you know what a lieutenant colonel of the KGB is? Absolutely nothing.”
>What Kovalev meant was that a man who had never even made full colonel was simply a small-minded operative, incapable of thinking ahead more than a move or two. And while Putin, over his 22 years in power, has grown immensely in stature and experience, I still believe the late Kovalev was fundamentally right.
I hope that’s the case and after he’s down no one like him takes his place again.
I’ve been saying it for years: I’m sure the ‘Putin’ of today is not the same person as the Putin that came to power. He looks totally different to pictures from the 90s, and not just “had work done”, or aged, different. I think he was assassinated and replaced by a puppet body double or something
