I love a good rags-to-riches story, but what about a rags-to-viscous one? Our current history episode this week is about a poor boy who grew up to become a dictator. I mean president!

This is one sneaky fella, and his history is as jumbled as a fishbowl of keys after a party. No, I’m not Putin you on! Vladimir Putin is mysterious, corrupt, and 100% Rotten.
