It is impossible to think of Russia today without thinking of Vladimir Putin. More than any other major national leader, he personifies his country in the eyes of the outside world, and dominates Western media coverage of it to an extraordinary extent.

It was the space where Putin, like so many Soviet kids of his generation, grew up and learned an unforgiving, often brutal social code.
