1. Russian President Putin is cold-blooded, without blood or tears.

Bombing apartments and commercial buildings is standard, and bombs have also been poured into shelters where children are hiding.

Thousands of people are clamoring for pain, but he doesn't care.

He doesn't even care about the deaths of Russian soldiers.

He is willing to do anything cruel to win.

Putin always appears to be a dictator at the level of a madman, with a hard-line look on his face. 



2. But Putin wasn't like this in the early 2000s when he came to power.

Although he looked a bit shy, he got along with western tops with a curious look.

In particular, the relationship with President Bush was so good that we invited them to each other's villas.

Bush did not shy away from hugs in public with then-US President Bush, and the two even went for walks casually.

Seeing these two summits, the people of the world thought the era of the Cold War was over. 



3. There is an essential reason why he has changed like this, that the principle of checks and balances has been broken in Russia while he has been in power for over 20 years.

Putin, who likes to direct images, is an all-round sportsman and genius who can't do anything.

He needed great courage to give him the report he needed.

Putin's circle has been filled with only people who say yes to everyone over time.

Putin has begun to take his own infallibility and innocence for granted. 



4. However, I have to admit that Putin, who seemed to have made no mistake, made many mistakes in this war.

In order to hide this mistake and control information, he blocks major social media and delivers only news that suits his taste buds through state-run broadcasting.

But people are exposed to the realities of war through the bypass of the Internet.

Moreover, the economic sanctions combined by the West are giving Russia a painful time from now on with a time lag.

The situation is not as good as it was when the Soviet Union collapsed.

Milov, Navalny's economic adviser and aide, left several interesting analyzes and prospects for Putin.
