I just completed a small, obscure, and enlightening book. Its title is "Killer In The Kremlin" by John Sweeney. Here is the Amazon link:
https://www.amazon.com/Killer-
Sweeney/dp/1787636658/ref=sr_
It is a modest 276 pages and easy to read. Some disturbing and
previously not known facts emerge about Putin as follows:
1) He was born
out of wedlock. The common term is "a bastard."
2) Putin spent
some of his formative years in the country of Georgia.
3) Putin is
bi-sexual.
4) Putin is what
I would describe as "a borderline pedophile." He does not like small
children as sex partners, but he does like "very young men" as sex
partners.
5) Putin has
8-10 children by women including his ex-wife and other partners in life.
6) Putin
suffered a very bad fall from a horse. He is on constant steroid treatments and
has other health issues. The author considers him in failing health and does
not see prospects for him having a long life.
Most of the book deals with just how brutal and murderous Putin is. Former
Russian President Yeltsin launched a war in Chechnya. It failed. When Putin
came to power, he launched a brutal attack on Chechnya with massive artillery
and air attacks on population centers. He played the same game in Georgia and
Syria. What we see in Ukraine is a continuation of the brutality that Putin
showed in prior military campaigns.
Mr. Sweeney also discussed the murders of many political opponents and business
rivals over the years. Putin did not confine his murders to Russia. He
went worldwide.
The 2014 shooting down of Malaysian Airline MH17 is dissected in
detail. It was a deliberate murder, according to the author. Putin approved the
shootdown.
The author also talked about some spectacular terrorist attacks that
took place in Russia in the early 2000s including the attack on the Moscow
opera house and a school in a rural area. He claims that the Russian FSB (KGB
replacement) staged these attacks and blamed them on terrorists.
The only positive and encouraging news from the book was that the author
did not believe that Russia would resort to nuclear weapons
in Ukraine.
