Yes. I researched Putin's childhood to try to get an handle on his vulnerability, because the eyes and mouth show vulnerability in photos especially before he was adopted out at 10. He was an illegitimate child in a small society of narrow norms. He would have been picked on and he has a colossal chip on his shoulder. You can see hints of this even today. He's masking a lot of hurt.

Agree on H. It was so barren it was like a concentration camp, but his mother doted on him. A volatile combination. But where H was essentially mediocre Putin's intelligence makes him very dangerous. It was the times that elevated H, who was a mediocrity and this fuelled his rage.

So many angles to this, it's intriguing.

The contrast between 2 short statured men, Putin and Zelenskyy couldn't be more sharp. Zelenskyy is so well adjusted by comparison.
Each incidentally, have law degrees.

Propagandists in here like to play up the comedic side of Zelenskyy, not realising it's one of his strengths. Putin takes himself way too seriously so he hasn't got anyone moderating him when he goes off into weird Dugan territory.

What a Rasputin that man is!

Hi Dolcevita

Young Putin learned that in order to survive he had to become the king bully. Perhaps that's when any empathy for those who were not close to him departed. Young Putin was not tall enough to be a king bully so I assume he had to use his wits to deliver the fist through others.

His approach has never had to change.
