How did a once faceless bureaucrat, a man whose own wife said he was born under the sign of the vampire, become the idealized face of Russian manhood and its authoritarian leader? Deputy Mayor Putin examines the man behind the myth. We will explore how Putin’s formative years shaped and drove him and how the supporting cast of characters he gathered along the way helped him get to the Kremlin’s inner sanctum. We will trace Putin’s many transformations and examine how each step brought him closer to the leader he is today: from scrawny street thug to the aggressive President Putin who invaded Ukraine in early 2022.

A masterful blend of factual retelling with theatrical flourishes. Too often these kinds of historical pieces err too much either way; too dry or too fluffy. This is a rare example of an audio production that knows how to walk that tightrope perfectly. An almost unbelievable story, told expertly. I devoured it.

Fascinating insight and great storytelling

Kept me hanging on to hear what he would try next!
Seems to have been well researched, and was well presented.

Beside the incredible insights on what deputy mayor and other dramatic figures in the story felt and thought — none can weave a story on corruption like the brits! Laughed out loud at some of the passages, the “unprovoked” narrative going strong, but other than that an interesting listen. Wouldn’t recommend to those unfamiliar with Russian politics as it would give the reader a wrong impression, but for the less impressionable should be a nice round up of the 90s-00s of Russian politics

Documents the corrupt rise and rise of one Mr. Putin of Russia, this is well researched, narrated and put together. Highly recommended if you're interested in the origins of the man we all wish had become a taxi driver.
