Vladimir Putin

Introduction - To Evil

Just as the COVID-19 pandemic was coming to an end, everyone began

to take a breath of relief. The world was finally at peace and could return

to normal. This breath was cut short by Vladimir Putin spearheading the

campaign and invasion of Ukraine. This left millions of people, media outlets,

and the world dumbstruck. While Putin had always been somewhat of

a political renegade who had the potential for evil, it was still so surprising

when such brutality and wickedness occurred. The world was still turning

the corner from a pandemic, not an easy feat. Even in the wake of the

invasion and subsequent war, people still have so many questions.

Who is Mr. Vladimir Putin? What are his ultimate goals? Will he stop at

Ukraine alone, or will he use his military might to try to usurp power all

over the world? If so, what if he succeeds? Are we witnessing the genesis of

a worldwide coup d'état?

While the answers may be difficult to answer at this point, maybe with a

bit of exploration, they will reveal themselves. Of course, we cannot simply

look at the present day. If we have any chance of answering these questions,

we have to start at the beginning. We have to trace through the life of this

world leader. It is a big job, but this book takes up the challenge of combing through the life and times of Vladimir Putin and delves into the sequence

of events that formed one of the most tyrannical maniacs the world has

ever seen.

To help bring some sort of organization to our journey, we have chosen

to divide the book into four parts, each containing its own collection of

chapters.
