关于此电子书

Vladimir Putin was born in Leningrad in 1952 and grew up in a communal apartment shared by several families. He began his career with the KGB, the Soviet Union's security agency, where he worked as a foreign intelligence officer for 16 years. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Putin entered politics and quickly rose through the ranks, serving as the head of the Federal Security Service (FSB) and later as prime minister under Boris Yeltsin. In 2000, Putin was elected president of Russia and has remained in power ever since, either as president or prime minister. During his time in office, Putin has been known for his strongman tactics, including cracking down on political opposition and instigating a crackdown on the media. He has also been praised for restoring Russia's economic and military might, particularly through the annexation of Crimea in 2014. While Putin is widely popular in Russia, his leadership has also been criticized internationally for his authoritarian tendencies and human rights abuses. Despite this, he remains a powerful figure both within Russia and on the global stage.
