Vladimir Putin: Vladimir Putin's Ascension to Power (2022)

By Sidney Mallin

As the globe grapples with a more assertive Russia, knowing the challenging and ambitious Vladimir Putin has never been more critical.

This riveting account of Putin's rise to power follows him from his youth in wretched poverty in Leningrad to his ascension through the ranks of the KGB and final consolidation of power in the Kremlin.

On the one hand, Putin's many internal changes, ranging from tax cuts to the extension of property rights, have helped redefine the potential of millions of Russians whose only experience with democracy was crime, poverty, and instability after the demise of the Soviet Union.

On the other hand, Putin has brought in new authoritarianism unrelenting in its persecution of the opposition and freshly aggressive politically and militarily in places like Crimea and the Middle East.

Vladimir Putin is a stunning accomplishment, a well-researched and indispensable biography of one of the most significant and destabilizing international leaders in recent history, a man whose harsh leadership has become irrevocably linked to Russia's destiny.
