Kaufoptionen und Plus-Produkte
First Person is an intimate, candid portrait of the man who holds the future of Russia in his grip. An extraordinary compilation of over 24 hours of in-depth interviews and remarkable photographs, it delves deep into Putin's KGB past and explores his meteoric rise to power. No Russian leader has ever subjected himself to this kind of public examination of his life and views. Both as a spy and as a virtual political unknown until selected by Boris Yeltsin to be Prime Minister, Putin has been regarded as man of mystery. Now, the curtain lifts to reveal a remarkable life of struggles and successes. Putin's life story is of major importance to the world.

In Russia, without political opinion polls, focus groups or special interest funding, Vladimir Putin rose from a rat-infested cold water apartment to become President of his nation. This book is about a man who spent his professional life assessing people and situations, and thus is not afraid to make tough decisions. In Russia, for the immediate future, tough decisions are needed.
Putin's hero, Czar Peter the Great, used his regal power to make Russia a great, rich and powerful nation. Putin intends to provide similar dynamic leadership with democratic principles. An example may be Singapore, a mix of authority, discipline and prosperity.
The question-and-answer format of this book is based on six four-hour interviews by three journalists. Putin admits he was, ". . . a pure and utterly successful product of Soviet patriotic education." He was smart, dedicated, hard-working and very good in his chosen career with the KGB. He wasn't a old cloak-and-dagger "sneak and peek" spy; he spent his time reading reports, assessing East German officials and skillfully pushing paper.
Trained as a lawyer, he was appalled at how Communist officials assumed they were the law simply because they were Party members. Putin was never a dissident, he was the ultimate Organization Man whose goal was a richer, happier, stronger and freer Russia. He worked hard to become an insider, and as such saw the total incompetence of the Party.
His wife says, "He always lived for the sake of something. There are some people who work hard for money, but he works hard for ideas." When first married, they had a 10-foot by 12-foot room in his parents' 275-square foot apartment. Try and think of any American president since Lincoln -- another idea man -- who lived in any similar conditions.
Like Lincoln, whose greatest idea was "to preserve the Union," the prime challenge for Putin is to preserve Russia. His practical experience taught him that a free market economy is far superior to the chaos, conniving and cronyism of communism. He says the Soviets failed because they ". . . had a terminal disease without a cure -- a paralysis of power."
Two things are clear; Putin is not afraid to act, and he will never betray Russia. He learned from his father's World War II experience, ". . . there are always a lot of mistakes made in war. That's inevitable. But when you are fighting, if you keep thinking that everybody around you is always making mistakes, you'll never win. You have to take a pragmatic attitude." He approaches life in that fashion.
His political heroes also rebuilt shattered nations. Charles DeGaulle saved France from itself; while in Germany, Ludwig Erhard succeeded because ". . . his entire conception for the reconstruction of the country began with the creation of new moral values for society." The Soviet collapse created a similar challenge for Putin. This book explains what his "effective authority" is all about. It's the best book available this year about a politician with new ideas.
This is a refreshingly candid portrait of the soul of the new President of Russia, a fascinating contrast to "personality politics" that mask any inner feelings of American politicians. Putin trusts the Russian people enough to be honest; our politicians hire spin doctors to create "centrist" or "moving to the right" or "compassionate conservative" images. The contrast is ominous.
Then, stop and think. Does America really need tough, effective authority? Or are we better off with superficial candidates and trivial issues? If Putin succeeds, he will outdo Peter the Great. In America, do we need a great crusade? or merely to be left alone? Another Lincoln? or a Shrub?
An manchen Stellen hätte es sehr von einer Formatierung/ einem guten Editor profitiert. Fast als hätte man einen Draft gedruckt.
Man sollte sich auch bewusst sein, dass das Buch 2000 erschienen ist, aktueller wird es also nicht. (das nur als Hinweis)
Zu den Geschichten und Anekdoten selbst:
Putin selbst ist äußerst zurückhaltend. Es wird nicht geprahlt und spannende Geschichten werden ohne Gefühl und Spannungsbogen im Stile von, "so war das halt", erzählt.
Abschließend kann ich sagen, dass man Putin zwar besser kennenlernt, ein überzeugter Kritiker wird von diesem Buch aber nicht umgestimmt werden, da es sehr neutral gehalten ist.
Das alles kann gut und gerne am Interview Stil liegen. Im Grunde ist das Buch ein großes abgedrucktes Interview. So unterscheidet es sich sehr von einer klassischen Biographie. Der politische Teil am Ende ist sehr interessant und man kann auf jeden Fall etwas lernen.
Ok, folks, I have something to tell you about Russia, things which you pretend you do not know. Some people from USA were using Chechnya as an example of "new rule of terror in Russia".But do you think we like it more than you. But you believe to foreign sources of information - the rebel sources. And what do they show - "...oh, the human rights are NOTHING in Russia...- look at all the horrible things they do in Chechnya..." - Yes - this is war - what do you expect from war? But you say "it is not right".Why? What would USA government do if, let's say - Texas appeals for independance. Would government accept it? Ofcourse - NOT. The same is with Chechnya - the terrorists Must Be Destroyed."...they are no terrorists" - you'd say. What about blowing up a apartment houses in Moscow? Some people say that Putin ordered to use AF in Chechnya, but they suddenly forgot about USA bombardments in Kosovo - what did they do wrong.
