The Mind of Vladimir Putin is a Dangerous Place to Dwell, Whether You are Russian or American.
For many Americans, the mention of Vladimir Putin brings one of three images to mind. First, there is the voice of George Bush the younger saying, “I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul.” The second is then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton offering Putin a cheap plastic “Reset Button.” The third is then-President Obama telling Putin’s associate Dmitri Medvedev that “This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility.”
In all of these cases, you have an American leader trying to convince themselves that they can trust and work with Vladimir Putin.
They were wrong. If the war in Ukraine has convinced us of anything, it should be that Putin is not to be trusted.
This podcast brings you important insights into the Russian philosophers - most of them largely unknown in the West - that influence Mr. Putin's point of view.
