Inside the Mind of Vladimir Putin: Fareed Zakaria Reports
As Russia continues to horrify the world with its brutal attacks on Ukraine, and its crush of dissent at home, CNN's Fareed Zakaria takes viewers inside the mind of the man behind the ruthless conflict, Vladimir Putin.
Throughout his rise to power and political career, Vladimir Putin has been an autocratic enigma. What drives the notorious strongman? He was reared in Soviet poverty, served as a KGB intelligence agent in East Germany, and through a series of cunning maneuvers, rose from deputy mayor of St. Petersburg to the presidency of post-Soviet Russia. Zakaria gets answers to the many questions surrounding Putin that have confounded leaders worldwide, including at least four U.S. presidents: how did Putin's mindset move from pro-global harmony to isolation, fear, and loathing of the West.
