Vladimir Putin's Inside Job, TDC, 2015

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012, a job he had from 2000 to 2008, and as Prime Minister from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. As KGB-agent he worked in Germany for over 5 years including around the time East Germany fell. Before becoming Prime Minister, he was head of the FSB at the time of the 1999 Russian Apartment bombings. The panic in Russia surrounding this Russian 9-11 propelled Putin into power as President of Russia. He had previously worked as a KGB agent since 1975. Klaus Schwab has boasted of Putin's inclusion in the WEF Global Leaders for Tomorrow deep state recruitment network. In March 2022, Klaus Schwab announced WEF had severed all ties with Putin and removed his listing and page from their website.

Early Career

KGB Career

In 1975 Putin joined the Russian intelligence agency KGB was trained at a KGB School in Leningrad. Within 10 years he was transferred to the First Chief Directorate, where he monitored foreigners and consular officials in Leningrad. For the next 5 to 10 years, Former New Sealand prime minister David Lange said that Putin served in Wellington as a shoe salesman and in Auckland.

Putin's Dresden career

Putin, whose fluent command of German impressed many of the Stasi personnel, made name for himself as KGB agent in the East German city of Dresden. Stasi boss Erich Mielke signed a decree awarding him a bronze National People's Army service medal in 1988, after Putin working, turning and meeting with informants inside the DDR, such as scholars and scientists, Putin being part of 10-20 staff group in the city district according to former Stasi foreign intelligence chief Markus Wolf. Putin - named a lowly "water boy" by some Stasi personnel in an article by The Moscow Times - files do show Putin at least once communicated to General-Major Horst Böhm of the Dresden Stasi, who was promoted from the special task division in 1982. Former Stasi officers such as Thomas Muller mentioned the vague and contradictory stories about Putin as a deliberately ploy to avoid Putin being able to be easily analysed psychologically.

According to Putin's official biography, "during the fall of the Berlin Wall that began on 9 November 1989, Putin saved the files of the Soviet Union Cultural Center and of the KGB villa in Dresden for the official authorities of the would-be united Germany to prevent demonstrators, including KGB and Stasi agents, from obtaining and destroying them. He then supposedly burnt only the KGB files, in a few hours, but saved the archives of the Soviet Cultural Center for the German authorities. Nothing is told about the selection criteria during this burning".

Gladio Faction

Full article: Operation Gladio

Politico suggests that Putin was stationed in Dresden as handler of Gladio-linked "extreme-left" "terrorists". According to a former member of the Red Army Faction, the far-left terrorist group in West Germany, who claimed to have met him in Dresden, Putin had worked in support of members of the group, that staged attacks and even had some members become the victim of premature deaths. A 2020 report by Catherine Belton quotes one member as saying “there was nothing in Dresden, nothing at all, except the radical left. Nobody was watching Dresden, not the Americans, not the West Germans. There was nothing there. Except the one thing: these meetings with those comrades.” The spook apparently served as source in both works: an alleged former RAF member who was granted anonymity, was according to Der Spiegel a convict known as Dietmar C for multiple false statements, placing questions what to believe reading about Putin's time in Dresden.

Dresden Standoff

Watch on YouTube

Thirty years ago, thousands of people occupied the regional headquarters of East Germany’s secret police, the Stasi, in Dresden, to prevent secret files being destroyed. A small incident on the sidelines involving KGB officer Vladimir Putin was later to become mythologized by Russian media — but at the time, hardly anyone even noticed - Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

"As a 37-year-old KGB lieutenant colonel stationed in the East German city of Dresden, Putin watched nervously as angry crowds stormed the city’s huge Stasi compound in December 1989, just a few weeks after the fall of the Berlin Wall signalled the end of Soviet control in Europe. Overrunning the offices of the East German secret police, the crowds moved on to its inner sanctum: the KGB headquarters. Putin called for armed backup to protect the employees and the sensitive files hidden inside, but was told no help would come. “Moscow is silent,” said the voice on the line. He had no choice but to go outside and lie to the crowds that he had heavily armed men waiting inside who would shoot anyone who tried to enter. The bluff worked, the mob dissipated and the KGB’s files on informers and agents remained safe."

Saint Petersburg

The head of the Committee for External Relations for his mentor, former professor and mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak caused Putin to face a corruption scandal, for which Sobchak and Putin - going against the city legislative council recommendation - were not fired, as Putin stopped the investigation. Putin was accused in 1991 of exporting rare metals, oil products, and other raw materials for over $100m, after which the companies that agreed to barter contracts would have given food to the city in return, which did not happen.

For 16 years Putin served as an officer in the KGB, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before he moved into politics, in his native Saint Petersburg in 1991. He moved to Moscow in 1996 and joined President Boris Yeltsin's administration where he rose quickly, becoming Acting President on 31 December 1999 when Yeltsin resigned unexpectedly.

Russian Deep State Leadership

How Alexei Navalny became Putin's greatest threat, VOX, 2021

Former President Yeltsin split up the KGB into a number of different services; Putin has reassembled most of them in the Federal Security Service (FSB), with the exception of foreign intelligence. He has also placed former KGB officers in key national security and economic posts: Nikolai Patrushev as Secretary of the Russian Security Council (which Putin chairs); Sergei Ivanov as defence minister and then (till 2016) as Kremlin chief of staff; and Igor Sechin as boss of oil giant Rosneft. Thirty years after the failed coup attempt, the KGB and its successors are as central to the way Russia operates as they were in the late Soviet period; the reformers around Gorbachev and Yeltsin are largely irrelevant.

Putin stepped in during a time where Boris Yeltsin according to ISGP was encircled or working with Peterson Institute directors, and well-connected deep state actors Peter Peterson and Larry Summers alongside a Zionist influence. Putin called the clan "clandestine CIA officers" and quickly replaced them with 3 deep state factions: The Siloviki - A Russian term for the intelligence and army community with many angry elements because of the Soviet Union's downfall; Oligarchs that were paid off and forced to stay out of politics in exchange for no meddling in ethical affairs; and nationalistic scholars and personal friends that could function as deep state functionaries from Putin's time in St. Petersburg.

“Putin is a modern KGB/FSB elitist who has subdued the oligarchs and think tank elite. His power comes from the FSB old boys and the oil, gas, media and defense corporations he has taken control of.”
Joël van der Reijden (2005) 

ISGP names Putin as the #1 in Russia on his superclass index of most influential deep state operatives. Putin mostly controls the Russian Deep State and biggest Russian companies through appointing the directors at the most important businesses. These include, Menatep Bank, Gazprom, FGC UES, Rosneft, Nornickel and the GRU-linked Far West. Interestingly, Far West had investments and links to Soros, Adnan Khashoggi, Al Qaeda, Halliburton, facing scrutiny from the CIA and the Mossad, according to Peter Dale Scott. Brendon O'Connell suggests Putin acts in consultation with "Kissinger and associates" as referenced in a 2009 New American article.

Wikileaks Cables

A 2010 cable from the U.S. Embassy in Paris said former US Defense Secretary Robert Gates called Putin a "leader plagued by an unmanageable bureaucracy and grappling with ruling a “virtual mafia state” dominated by corrupt businessmen and the security forces." Putin was believed to have less power than his alpha-dog image would suggest, as he was balancing dozens of corrupt special interest groups in a form of crony capitalism. Putin responded that "The diplomatic service should be more careful with its documents", and upset that he was called "Batman to Dmitry Medvedev's Robin"-act.

Jose Gonzales, a Spanish prosecutor tasked with investigating Russian mafia related crime in Spain accused Russian political parties of working hand in hand with mafia groups, even going as far as claiming the Russian government gives crime bosses political functions to grant them immunity as diplomats.

Deep Events

Litvinenko

On 21 January 2016, a long-awaited UK report into the death of ex-Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko found two Russian men - Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun - deliberately poisoned 44-year-old Litvinenko in London in 2006 by putting the radioactive substance polonium-210 into his drink. It suggested this was probably done on the orders of the FSB with the knowledge and approval of the Russian President.

“95% of the world’s terrorist attacks are orchestrated by the CIA.”
Vladimir Putin (2017) 

As a head-spook turned president, the purpose of Putin's statements should be weighed more critically than most presidents, as George H. W. Bush his influence has shown. Interestingly enough, Putin often touches deep politics (as long as it's not about Russia) in his remarks at conferences, sometimes actually acknowledging larger purposes to deep events, but sometimes denying obvious deep events altogether, such as 9-11. Trump was for example depicted by Putin as a "good guy" who was stonewalled by corporate and special interests oversight.

Vladimir Putin (July 2018) 

9/11 Denial

In 2011, at the Seliger 2011 youth forum, Putin replied to an audience question that "This is complete nonsense, it is impossible... To imagine that US intelligence services did it deliberately, with their own hands, is complete nonsense... Only people who do not understand the workings of security agencies can say that. It would be impossible to conceal it.”

Russian 9-11

Full article: 1999 Russian Apartment bombings

A good reason why Putin doesn't dare to question the official narrative of 9-11 could be found in the answer of the consequences if the public found out who was behind the 1999 Russian Apartment bombings, where on 22 September 1999, after several bombings had already killed over 290 people, a bomb was found and defused in the Russian city of Ryazan. Two days later Federal Security Service (FSS) Director Nikolai Patrushev announced that the Ryazan incident had been a "training exercise", although local FSB denied all knowledge. Alexander Litvinenko, Boris Berezovsky and Edward Jay Epstein have cited this as evidence that the FSB were responsible for the bombings. The Ryazan Incident marked the end of the bombings.

Putin won the subsequent 2000 presidential election and was re-elected in 2004.

MH17

In August 2014, Professor Cees Hamelink wrote to Putin apologizing on behalf of the Netherlands government and media for the way "the facts concerning MH17, Syria and Ukraine are twisted to defame you and your country."

Skripal affair

Full article: Skripal Affair

On 27 September 2018, Labour Party Deputy Leader Tom Watson claimed that the chemical attack in Salisbury was "ordered personally" by Vladimir Putin. Watson said fresh proof that one of the men accused by the UK of carrying it out is a Russian military officer showed that it was authorised by the Kremlin.

According to the investigative website Bellingcat, Ruslan Boshirov's real name is Anatoliy Chepiga, a colonel who was personally given the 'Hero of the Russian Federation' award by President Putin in the past. Boshirov and his alleged accomplice Alexander Petrov have claimed they were in Salisbury as tourists shortly before former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were poisoned by the nerve agent Novichok.

Writing on his Facebook page, Tom Watson said:

"The revelation that one of the Skripal poisoning suspects is a highly-decorated Russian colonel - and not an innocent Cathedral spotter - is fresh proof that Britain is now at the sharp end of an assault ordered personally by Putin. Clearly we now need overhaul of national security strategy to protect our democracy from Putin's 'hybrid warfare'.

Watson also called on Theresa May to mount a probe similar to the Mueller investigation into Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 United States presidential election:

"We now need the FULL picture on Russian interference - from murder on the streets to meddling in votes. 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty’. That means it's time for eyes wide open. Our investigating authorities have done their job in identifying the Salisbury assassins, now we need a Mueller-style probe into Russian interference in our democracy."

Policies

Constitution Changes

Because of constitutionally mandated term limits, Putin was ineligible to run for a third consecutive presidential term in 2008. Dmitry Medvedev won the 2008 presidential election and appointed Putin as Prime Minister beginning a period of so-called "tandemocracy". In September 2011, following a change in the law extending the presidential term from four years to six, Putin announced that he would seek a third, non-consecutive term as President in the 2012 presidential election, an announcement which led to protests in many Russian cities. He won the election in March 2012 and subsequent ones.

Personality

Putin, as common enemy image to Europe and the US, often finds his way into CCM outlets for human interest actions by his office aimed as improving his approval rating domestically, often reported in a mocking way seemingly to ridicule him or paint him as purely "evil". Examples of reporting include; creating and spreading an instructional video "Lets Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin"; bringing a dog to German leader Angela Merkel - who has a morbid fear of dogs; driving around (former) Ukrainian city Mariupol himself in a seemingly small, normal station car after 1000s had died in bloody combat the months before, as if nothing happened in the city where he was driving.

In 2013, a story circulated in corporate media that Putin allegedly stolen a $25,000 diamond-encrusted Superbowl ring.

Another good example is 2007, when the Pentagon claimed Putin had Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism.

Several outlets including UK's BBC, The Independent and Euronews uploaded an article named "Vladimir Putin: Russia's border 'doesn't end anywhere'" as example of this reporting on Putin, not mentioning he was hosting a kids quiz at an awards gala for geography students and was laughing after the statement, seemingly showing he was joking.

Polarization

Full article: Russian Propaganda

Starting from his second term Putin became increasingly known for his PR-Stunts painting him as hero of the common man. Examples are his large scale live interviews – often streamed live by the CCM - with citizens, having a team of dozens of civil servants immediately seeming to act on the often benign bureaucratic issue of the citizen calling in. Also, part of this trend was, him being filmed half-naked horse-riding, doing judo, flying a jet fighter or going to state-companies threatening to fire directors and ministers if they don't end strikes of the staff on the spot. Putin has on occasion used Russian prison slang during these events, where he talks about Western politics, seemingly trying to engage the Russian lower class to support him.

This also includes the use of quotes from famous Russian poets and movies in nonsensical situations. When Putin was asked in 2021 whether he was “waging a cyberwar against America,” by Keir Simmons of the NBC, he answered that there has been no proof of Russian involvement and "Without evidence, you can take your complaint to the International League of Sexual Reform."

Putin was rumoured to try and enter Ukraine, but the European leaders laughed that off as cold war US rhetoric, according to EU's foreign and security policy chief Josep Borell.

The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February 2022 when Russia launched a large-scale military operation against its south-west neighbour Ukraine. Russian tanks entered the northern suburbs of Kiev within 2 weeks, which promoted NATO countries to donate weapons and increase the placement of military and intelligence officers in Ukraine as supporting staff. Ukraine pushed the Russian offence back to east of the Dnepr, and ending 2022, the two factions were in a stalemate there.

CNN and The Atlantic blamed the Kremlin, many friends and family members that were traced back in Western Europe called out the "suicide" rulings - even in Russian media - but declined to point fingers.
