5. An Indispensable Tsar
Bare-chested photo ops and the invasion of Georgia - what Vladimir Putin did as prime minister. Then, he returns to the presidency vowing to save Russia from the west.

Catherine Belton, author of ‘Putin’s People: How the KGB took back Russia and took on the West'
Andrei Soldatov, a Russian investigative journalist and author of ‘The New Nobility: The Restoration of Russia's Security State and the Enduring Legacy of the KGB’
Mark Galeotti, University College London lecturer and director of Mayak Intelligence.
