Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin: He has been shaping Russia's politics for over two decades. And there is no end in sight. Putin keeps the world on tenterhooks, especially with the conflict with Ukraine. Putin polarizes both at home and abroad. But what is the story of this man who is now one of the most powerful people in the world? What do we know about his childhood, his time as an agent in the Russian secret service and his political rise? In this video, Mirko explains how Putin made it from the Leningrad backyard to the Moscow Kremlin - and became the man he is today. We would like to thank Dr. Janis Kluge for his helpful comments.
