it definitely had Putin rising to power using the FSB in it, but it’s not in my recent list, so I’m going to leave it rolling around in the back of my mind and if I find it I’ll get back to you.
I can usually remember the books I read, so I’m wondering if this was an extended article instead, cuz I remember reading it for at least a couple hours.
All the books I’m finding about the history of the FSB and Putin, I would assume they have the same information in there though.
basically putin’s a fucking weasel, but he’s good at office politics and wormed his way into the FSB and then quietly accrued power using increasingly fascist methods until he had enough leverage to overthrow the government.
“seize the throne” might be a better phrase to use there.
Can you give me a link for that, would be great reading.
Only if you can easily find it, otherwise don’tworry about it
