Throughout the quarter-century of Vladimir Putin's rule — he has served as prime minister or president since August 1999 — the former KGB officer has tried to sell the public an image of himself as a dictator, savior and defender of the Russian people.Indeed, just as the Kremlin described its invasion of Ukraine as a “special military operation,” it was presented as a humanitarian project to save Ukraine’s ethnic Russian population.But the reality is very different: since the start of the Ukraine war in February 2022, Putin has repeatedly shown his inability to protect the Russian people.
