The Man Without a Face is the chilling account of how a low- level, small-minded KGB operative ascended to the Russian presidency and, in an astonishingly short time, destroyed years of progress and made his country once more a threat to her own people and to the world.
If you've read my blog for a while, you know how I feel about the dictator in Belarus, so you can imagine how I feel about him turning the country over to Putin. And Putin attacking Ukraine? Heartbreaking, appalling. (And the fact that the right wingers in this country support Putin? Beyond maddening.)
Russia seems determined to go back to having a dictator in control...and Putin fits that mold perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI fear that there will be continuing trouble in that part of the world. :-(
