In late 2021, Vladimir Putin emerges from his Covid-19 bunker with an even smaller inner circle, increasingly outlandish demands of NATO and the west, and an immense military build-up on the border of Ukraine. How did seclusion change his mindset? And how did the west misunderstand him so badly?
To understand the Russian President and interpret his words and actions in those crucial weeks before the invasion, Jonny Dymond is joined by:
