This video will be entirely on how Vladimir Putin consolidated power. In 2000, Putin convincingly won the Russian presidential election becoming the second president of the Russian federation after Boris Yeltsin. However, Putin would go on to enjoy far more power over Russia than Yeltsin ever head.

The video will look at how he targeted key oligarchs like Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky. The video will also look at how Putin used the FSB and Chechen security crisis’ to further exercise control over Russia. Finally, the video will unpack the nature of the relationship between Putin and Dmitry Medvedev and how the two swapped roles as prime minister and president.

With the news cycle being so Putin-dominant right now, if this is an area you know little in, this is essential viewing for weighing in on any World War III conversation. Check out the rest of the Before World War III series here:
