How did Vladimir Putin, a KGB officer in East Germany, become the strongest man and shaper of the new Russia, which is increasingly distancing itself from Western perceptions? Barack Obama characterizes Vladimir Putin as one of the greatest threats to humanity – right after Ebola and the terrorists of the Islamic State.
The Russian president, on the other hand, harshly criticizes "the double standards of the West." Since the events of Maidan Square, there has been a freeze that is likely to evolve into a new "Ice Age" between East and West.
How did we arrive at this point, decades after the end of the Soviet Union? Hubert Seipel is the only Western journalist who has managed to accompany Putin for the last five years. His book tells the story of a mutual estrangement and disappointment. It gives the reader the opportunity to deeply understand the motives and views of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
