This presentation explores the political landscape of post-Soviet Russia and traces the rise of Vladimir Putin from a former KGB officer to the dominant figure in Russian politics. We wll examine the chaos following the collapse of the USSR, the power struggles of the 1990s, and how Putin's background, alliances, and strategy allowed him to take control. The session will also consider the political reforms, crises, and public sentiment that shaped his ascent to power—and ultimately, how he became Russia’s longest-serving leader since Stalin. Join us to understand the pivotal moments that defined Putin’s path and reshaped Russia.
