Putin and Russia: The Bigger Picture

Is Putin a C.I.A. Agent? (Thomas Friedman) from the New York Times
"Because Putin has undertaken so many actions in recent years that contributed to the weakening of Russia’s economy and human capital base that you have to wonder whether he’s secretly on the C.I.A.’s payroll.  Beginning around 2007 or 2008, Putin appears to have decided that rebuilding Russia by nurturing its tremendous human talent and strengthening the rule of law was just too hard ... Instead, Putin decided to look for dignity for Russia in all the wrong places."
