- Power and propaganda are closely intertwined, as any historian will
tell you. World leaders throughout time have tried to portray themselves
as dominant and cultured—but the shrewd glare of the modern media world
has often dulled recent propaganda campaigns.
Not so in Vladimir Putin’s Russia. The country’s leader has almost single-handedly plowed his own furrow,
portraying himself in a positive fashion and often receiving adulation
from his subjects. The likelihood is that many of these events are
staged—or otherwise, he’s some sort of superhuman.
