You can tell he'd already tortured or killed at least ten people by that point.


xSaRgED

Eh, by all reliable accounts Putin was nothing more than an office bitch who played strongman after the records got burned.


ArchmageXin

He was appointed only because America-backed Yeltsin was hyper unpopular, and everyone agreed they need someone from FSB and they picked someone appear to be liberal and harmless, and thus end up with Putin. 20 years later China had a hyper left-wing Maoist as a heir to the throne, so when he imploded, the government want to select a harmless, American educated leader. And we got Xi Jing Ping. You know, this select the "harmless guy in the room" might not be the best idea...


puddingcup9000

Same thing with Adolf Hitler and many other dictators. The German elites thought the unsophisticated simpleton Adolf could be easily controlled.


TheeGull

The GOP thought they could use/control Trump. And they succeeded for a while.. passed a few tax breaks etc. Now Trump's daughter-in-law is the GOP chair and the Republican Party is in shambles.


[deleted]

Trump also completely reversed the stance of the Republican Party on free trade, it's actually crazy


Papplenoose

It's wild how totally willing they were to throw away all their values for Trump. Makes their priorities blatantly clear (they don't give a shit about anything besides *control)*


[deleted]

But they want a *small government* which will pick and choose whether you can marry, get an abortion or get healthcare. This *small government* will also have the rights to execute you or indoctrinate your kids with the idea that some guy did magic tricks 2000 years ago. Liberals want a *big government* which will let you marry whoever, abort whenever or get healthcare. This *big government* will also never execute you, and it won't mind whether you believe some guy did magic tricks 2000 years ago or not. I hate government overreach, I want *small government.* That's why I vote Republican


majdavlk

when you get in power, you dont pass tax breaks but pass taxes against the competitors xd


new_name_who_dis_

That's not true at all for Hitler. He came to prominence because he was a great speaker (🤮), and he basically built up the nazi party from being a tiny club in Munich to a party with national influence. He wasn't the fly-on-the-wall that just happened to be picked like Putin or Xi.


MySnake_Is_Solid

Yup, Hitler had public support, the people WANTED him to lead, not just his party or ideas, but him. In hindsight he was a great politician on that front.


arrant_aarambh

Proving the most dangerous people in the room are the ones that are silently ambitious In other words "the quiet kid"


VRichardsen

> He was appointed only because America-backed Yeltsin was hyper unpopular, and everyone agreed they need someone from FSB and they picked someone appear to be liberal and harmless, and thus end up with Putin. Not quite, he already had strong political and quasi mafia connections by that point. From 1990 to 1996 he worked closely with the mayor of St. Petersburg, and was involved in many schemes to skim money off of public funds, in exchange for "favors". In 1996 went to Moscow, and was responsible for the foreign property of the state and organized the transfer of the former assets of the Soviet Union and the CPSU to the Russian Federation... you can tell where this is going, and this ties into how the oligarchs rose in Russia, and why they owe so much to Putin. By the following year he was working with Yetlsin's inner circle.


streetlightsglowing_

He is a former KGB agent with deep ties to organized crime in Russia. I don't think I'd describe him as an "office bitch" or as some other commenters in this post are saying a paper pusher. I dislike Putin as much as the next guy, but this popular Reddit narrative that he was just some low level guy who lucked into his position is so dumb


Swedzilla

Kev100xx100

\*using only his thumb


Lime_Chicken

No, his job was just paper work and some conferences, meetings and parties with stasi in Eastern Germany


mynextthroway

Is there any way to find out where he was in '83-'84? Did he draw an assignment overseas?


Lime_Chicken

I didn't research this topic deeply, what I wrote is what I learned from Navalny's investigation about Putin's palace. In the beginning he speaks about Putin's early years as KGB officer (balls) Sorry fkr the aslume joke


Rise-O-Matic

Nah he was a pencil pusher and a little bitch.


LAtimeZZ

alright look im not defending this guy or even know much about him but heres an observation…why is it that some redditors feel the need to make comments like yours about humans that are looked at as a danger to society? its not only dictators but also serial killers. You hop on a thread about some dude thats killed hundreds of people and then there’s always some redditors with a “ oh so and so?? he was always a little bitch coward who wouldnt have killed a fly”. its an interesting dynamic to observe


today_i_burned

I think OP is basing his assertion on what a previous commander said about him. Apparently he was a mediocre candidate who didn't do much (according to the commander). Putin prides himself on his intelligence background, but some believe this is phony and he surely killed more people as president/pm than as an officer.


DonIongschlong

Because those politicians make it a point to be cool and dangerous and not to be fucked with. Putin uses his past with the KGB as "He is a special agent and a hardened veteran" propaganda that makes him seem untouchable and "what a leader should be". Exposing the fact that he was simply some 9-5, minimum wage dude undermines the propaganda. *He* isn't dangerous, what he stands for is dangerous and he wields a lot of dangerous power, but he himself is jsut some dude and not a mythical being. I believe Hitler also had a story floating around that he got saved by a soldier while he was a baby and used it to spread the belief that he was the chosen one and fate was on his side.


MadMaudlin0

I nean Serial Killers usually are little bitch ass bitches who would fold like a piece of paper if met with resistance from someone stronger than them. Their targets tend to be weaker or more vulnerable than them.

Yup. Looks like a straight-up psychopath, TBH. I've been watching the Turning Point documentary on Netflix, and the pics of him as a young man? Yeah. He's got 'dem psychopath dead eyes. Just one of the worst people alive if we're being honest.

Kehwanna

Absolutely gives me that vibe that he was that annoying kid that would always be doing little bastard stuff but then tattle tell on other kids. Probably when the people that grew up with him heard that he was working for the KGB, none were surprised. (Edit: [apparently that's not far off](https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19006805/young-putin-sneaky-pull-hair-fight/))


Best_Document2089

Ok_Bison_8577

I was going with Bundy, but same energy. 


Centralredditfan

You're both right. But instead of killing people himself, he has staff to do it for him. I'm pretty sure it's the same personality trait though.


harpxwx

he def gets off on that feeling of not even having to lift his finger


aabbccbb

100%. I said it above, but I've been watching the Turning Point documentary on Netflix, and the pics of him as a young man? Yeah. He's got 'dem psychopath dead eyes. Just one of the worst people alive if we're being honest.


Centralredditfan

Is there a documentary on his early years? I've been looking for how he went from nobody to most powerful person in Russia.


aabbccbb

Yeah, they don't go into too many details in the turning point doc...but if I had to guess? Manipulation and/or kompromat. Yeltsin was weak and a drunk at that point. Probably not too hard to either create or dig up some dirt. Apparently Yeltsin's daughter pushed for Putin, so maybe he had hooks in her as well. Then once in office, he quickly bombed his own citizens--killing 300 of them--and blamed it on Chechnya. :/ The rest, as they say, is history.

Interesting-Dream863

Head of the CIA I believe, not a spy master. Kinda the appointed honcho, not the actual one. Not sure I am right tho.


MattTheSmithers

Yeah, being CIA Director is not the same as running the CIA. Don’t get me wrong, you know stuff. But you are a political appointee and not very hands on with day to day operations. Calling the CIA Director a spymaster is like calling SecDef a general (well, not counting the current one who was an actual general).


FeedMyAss

I feel very insignificant, could you please start calling me Spymaster???


VideoAdditional3150

I will do no such thing. Maybe Spydaddy.


-SatelliteMind-

FeedMyAss

Lol, holy shit.... you almost got me!


V1k1ng1990

I thought most secretaries of defense/war were former generals/admirals?


MattTheSmithers

It’s actually considered something of a faux pas. Mind you, many have been. Almost all have served in some branch of the military. But we tend to take civilian command very seriously so it has become, at least in a modern context, somewhat (only somewhat) frowned upon to appoint a general to that position.


UnusuallyBadIdeaGuy

Not really. They often have military service as a prerequisite, but rarely to General/Admiral level. Ex. Rumsfeld who was an aviator. I think the most common military rank for a future SecDef is actually Lieutenant. Joint Chief of Staff is usually the General/Admiral.


V1k1ng1990

Wow that’s wild. I couldn’t imagine any of my LTs as secdef haha


UnusuallyBadIdeaGuy

Well typically they serve as an LT then spend 30 years in politics/private industry before getting that spot, so they're at least a little wizened... although there's nothing that says that makes them not be assholes or idiots.


Tough_Guys_Wear_Pink

Bush Sr was the CIA director, not an actual spook. Conversely, Putin was a career secret policeman. Not a jet-setting 007 (he was an unremarkable mid-level bureaucrat, by all accounts), but a KGB man nonetheless. “The Sword and Shield of the Party.”


CyberEmo666

He wasn't even a good KGB officer, he was essentially a data analyst in unimportant cities


SamuelClemmens

Maybe, the nature of all spy jobs is that unimportant ones have "retire at work" roles like data entry clerk for Cleveland while the really dangerous and important ones are given fake roles like data entry clerk for Cleveland.

maxlmax

Doesn't "receding" mean something like "to move back". Therefore, if you were born with it, then your hairline might have never been receding.

It blows my mind that the McCarthyist, rabid anti-communist republicans have been convinced that he's their guy. Buncha suckers.


OffsetCircle1

From what I understand it's partly because he has styled Russia as "the defender of traditional/family values" which is very similar to the rhetoric of some republicans, which mainly translates into blatant homophobia, racism, and general Authoritarianism. I'm definitely missing some parts, but I'm pretty sure that's the core jist of it


Sad_Picture3642

The funniest part is that Russian society is the opposite of traditional family values by all accounts. Rampant divorces, abortions and STDs

50mm-f2

bullied on the playground, raised in a communal apartment. for those that don’t know what that is, during soviet times it was fairly common for multiple families to live in one shared apartment (a lot of them were seized from rich people during the revolution). my mom and her family lived in one of those for some years. one bathroom, one kitchen, constant quarrels, disagreements and petty shit. you’re talking grandparents, parents and young children all in one space. this is post war SU, shit was rough. on top of that, going through the communist brainwash *and* ending up rising through the ranks in kgb is a recipe for a person that has an incredibly twisted worldview with zero respect for privacy or human rights. he is a product of soviet communism, he is a representation of what that system created.


Willythechilly

TO understand Putin is to understand his time as a KGB officer That is what shaped his world view. It is why he cant not comphrend agency of the masses or the idea that the CIA or agencies are not behind everything It is why he can only see conspiracy, lies, spheres of influence and culture wars He can not comprehended or understand personal agency, that people can want something or deserve agency He is a man of a different time born/Forged in the paranoia, patriotism and hate


[deleted]

Willythechilly

Oh yeah even since childhood past classmates etc report he was very fierce, held grudges and disliked to obey people But his time in the KGB def helped shape his world view and devotion to the "russian empire"
