By Jolly Green
Part 1 of a 3 part series
Most of the opposition party leaders have been gathered up and imprisoned to stop them organizing against Putin.
Russian opposition supporters are starting to Revolt and protest, thousands are currently being arrested, locked up, and beaten.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is currently seen as a thief by many in Russia and by most of the Worlds Intelligentsia and the informed.
Ignorant people without the ability to think for themselves have not even considered that he is a thief, and the greedy that support him do not care.
When you consider that Putin is either the richest man in the world or among the top richest people. It must be asked, where did the wealth come from?
He came
from a poor working-class family, no Wealth, and no special
privileges’. He was born in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia,
on October 7, 1952.
Father:
Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin. Mother: Maria Ivanovna Shelomova, two
elder brothers Albert Putin, Viktor Putin [both dead].
He grew
up with his family in a Leningrad communal apartment. He was a bright
child and attended the local grammar and high schools, where he
developed an interest in sports.
Political
Ideology: 1975 – 1991 Communist Party of the Soviet Union;
1995-1999 Our Home-Russia Party; 1999-2001 Unity Party; 1991–1995
and 2001–2008 Independent Party; 2008 to present United Russia
Party.
1974, in
the middle of his fourth year, the long-time dream of Putin as a
student had come true. A KGB officer called him at home and offered
to meet. The next day, Vladimir, burning with impatience, waited at
the appointed place. The man who called him did not show up, and
Putin decided that he was not coming at all. Finally, the KGB officer
arrived after all, immediately offered a job in his organization to
Putin, and pointedly noted that they did not need just any law
student, but only promising “cadres.” Indeed, only three students
from the Faculty of Law received this kind of offer in addition to
Putin.
1975,
Putin graduated from Leningrad State University with a law degree and
an IQ in excess of 140. Putin had to wait for an entire year before
receiving an official invitation in 1976 to the personnel department
of the Leningrad branch of the all-powerful KGB.
1977,
after KGB acceptance Putin underwent a year's training at the 401st
KGB school in Okhta, Leningrad.
1978, he
began his career in the KGB as an intelligence officer. He began work
briefly in the Second Chief Directorate (counter-intelligence) before
he was transferred to the First Chief Directorate, where among his
duties was the monitoring of foreigners and consular officials in
Leningrad. He was classified as brilliant.
1980,
Putin met his future wife, Lyudmila
Putina,
who was working as an Aeroflot flight attendant at the time. The
couple married in 1983 and had two daughters: Maria, born in 1985,
and Yekaterina, born in Dresden, 1986.
1984,
the KGB sent Putin to north of Chelebityevo a Moscow suburb, to study
at the Andropov Red Banner Institute, one of the primary espionage
academies of Russia, where he was specialty trained for his trip to
Germany. The Institute was alternatively known as School 1010 or the
101st School, and referred to as K1 or Gridnevka by students.
Putin’s code name in intelligence school was “Platov.”
1985 to
1989, the KGB stationed Putin in Dresden, East Germany.
Angelikastraße 4, Dresden - former KGB headquarters is where
Vladimir Putin worked in 1985-1989 / Brücke-Osteuropa. During that
time, Putin was assigned to Directorate S, the illegal
intelligence-gathering unit (the KGB's classification for agents who
used falsified identities) where he was given cover as a translator
and interpreter [he speaks German and English]. One of Putin's jobs
was to coordinate efforts with the East German secret police, the
Stasi, to track down and recruit foreigners in Dresden, usually those
who were enrolled at the Dresden University of Technology, in the
hopes of sending them undercover in the United States. But his most
important job as discussed in the book of interviews, ‘First
Person’, Putin recalled that KGB operatives were gathering all the
information connected with their strategic adversary, NATO.
Recruiting informants, information gathering and transferring all
received data to Moscow.
When the
Berlin wall came down, Putin was the man who burnt all the KGB
documents, it took him three days.
1990,
upon returning to Russia, Putin still employed by the KGB held an
administrative position at the University of Leningrad.
He has
several nicknames, Grey Cardinal, Vova, Volodya, and VVP. He had the
reputation of a “gray cardinal” from his early KGB years being
responsible for the purity and consistency of the Communist ideology.
1991,
June, he assumed a position with the International Affairs section of
Leningrad State University, reporting to Vice-Rector Yuriy Molchanov.
In his new position, Putin maintained surveillance on the student
body and kept an eye out for recruits. It was during his stint at the
university that Putin grew reacquainted with his former professor
Anatoly Sobchak, then mayor of Leningrad.
1991,
August 20, Putin resigned from the active state security services
[KGB] with the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the fall of
communism in 1991 he became an adviser to liberal politician Anatoly
Sobchak. When Sobchak was elected mayor of Leningrad later that year,
Putin became his head of external relations. Putin had always been an
opportunist, and this was an opportunity he could not resist.
1994,
Putin became Sobchak's first deputy mayor, a connived invented
position.
1996,
After Sobchak's defeat, Putin resigned his deputy mayoral post and
moved to Moscow.
1998,
Vladimir Putin did not reach the upper echelons of the political
institution until he suddenly secured a political appointment to head
the Federal Security Service (FSB) in The
Federal Security Service (former KGB) was set up in 1995,
and is tasked with tackling perceived threats to the Russian state.
Putin ran the agency before he worked directly for President Yeltsin.
This organization has a specialist assassination section.
1998,
Putin was appointed deputy head of management under Boris Yeltsin's
presidential administration. Putin being very intelligent and as
crafty as an Arctic fox, was very soon, at Yeltsin’s behest,
appointed head of Yeltsin's Security Council. Putin was now
controlling Yeltsin. In that position, he was in charge of the
Kremlin's relations with the regional governments. Yeltsin was drunk
night and day and became reliant on Putin to help him try and hide
the drunkenness and the private and State problems that the condition
brought. Putin was able to take advantage of Yeltsin’s drunken
stupors to his own benefit.
1999,
August, with Putin’s connivance Yeltsin dismissed his prime
minister, Sergey Stapashin, along with his cabinet, and promoted
Putin in his place. Putin was now on his way to being president; he
continued to cultivate Yeltsin’s drunken stupidity to make sure
that the position of prime minister and ultimately president
eventually came to him.
1999,
December, Boris Yeltsin the chronic alcoholic resigned as president
of Russia and appointed Putin acting president until official
elections were held, and on March 2000, Putin was elected to his
first term with 53 percent of the vote. Promising both political and
economic reforms, Putin set about restructuring the government and
launching criminal investigations into the business dealings of
high-profile Russian citizens. He also continued Russia's military
campaign in Chechnya.
2001
September, in response to the terrorist attacks on the United States,
Putin announced Russia's support for the United States in its
anti-terror campaign. However, when the United States' "war on
terror" shifted focus to the ousting of Iraqi leader Saddam
Hussein, Putin joined German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and French
President Jacques Chirac in opposition of the plan.
2004,
Putin was re-elected to the presidency, and in April of the following
year made a historic visit to Israel for talks with Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon—marking the first visit to Israel by any Kremlin
leader.
2008,
due to constitutional term limits on being president, Putin was
prevented from running for the presidency. It was arranged that his
protégé Dmitry Medvedev succeeded him as president in March 2008,
he immediately appointed Putin as Russia's prime minister. This was
quite obviously rigged between Putin and Medvedev to allow Putin to
maintain a primary position of influence for the next four years. It
is an obvious clear picture of cheating the system, even corruption
in action. During Medvedev rule the presidential terms in Russia were
changed, extended from four to six years.
2012,
March 4, Vladimir Putin was re-elected to his third term as
president. After widespread protests and allegations of electoral
fraud, he was inaugurated on May 7, 2012, and shortly after taking
office appointed Medvedev as prime minister. Once more at the helm,
Putin has continued to make controversial changes to Russia's
domestic affairs and foreign policy. Many who protested election
fraud were imprisoned, murdered, or disappeared.
2013,
Putin as president earned 3,672,000 rubles (US$115,000) during the
year.
2014,
Putin as president earned 640,000 rubles (US$16,000) a month and 7.7
million rubles (US$193,000) during the year.
2015,
Putin as president earned 8.9 million rubles (US$137,000) during the
year, or around 740,000 (US11,500) a month.
2017, by
now Putin owned many houses around the World, palaces in Russia,
super mega yachts’, several privately owned aircraft and airliners.
All staffed by permanent privately employed servants and crews.
According to analysts’ Vladimir Putin is the richest man in the
world, with a net worth exceeding 200 billion US dollars. Richer
than Jeff Bezos [US$150 billions], Bill Gates [US$107 billions], and
the King of Saudi Arabia [US$18 billions].
Where
could such wealth come from if it’s not stolen? His whole pay over
the past 15 years only adds up to about US$1.5 million, which means
that over 1.999 billion US dollars have mysteriously appeared to his
credit. There is no State bonus system for Putin, so where did the
wealth come from?
But
beware; Putin is a major threat to World Order and World Peace. I
will tell you how!
