Russian President Vladimir Putin's career started with a spy service in 1975 in Germany during the Soviet era. He stepped out of the shadows in 1999 when he took office as interim president. Now, through various maneuvers, he has gained a constitutional change that allows him to remain until he turns 83. See the clip from the Foreign Office about Putin's path to power.


The Foreign Office is published every Wednesday evening on SVT Play. It is also broadcast in SVT2 on Wednesday 22.15.
