heybruce Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) From the BBC. A good overview that briefly covers twenty plus years of Russian devolution under Putin and debunks a lot of misinformation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0hdbxnm There is a text only version on today's BBC news app that I prefer, but I can't find a link to it. Sorry. Edited February 22 by heybruce 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many interesting points from the article: ""The Putin I met with, did good business with, established a Nato-Russia Council with, is very, very different from this almost megalomaniac at the present moment," former Nato chief Lord Robertson told me recently when we met in London. "The man who stood beside me in May of 2002, right beside me, and said Ukraine is a sovereign and independent nation state which will make its own decisions about security, is now the man who says that [Ukraine] is not a nation state."" 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautifulthailand99 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Adam Curtis's Traumazone is a peerless 7hr look at how the USSR collapsed and the chaos it unleashed, and ends with the rise of Putin. A must-see for anyone who wants to know how we got here and the best 'documentary' I have ever seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_1985–1999:_TraumaZone Trailer All 7 hours Edited March 6 by beautifulthailand99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
