"A Tsar Is Born." The Economist, Oct.-Nov. 2017, pp. 23-25.
This article explains how the tsar Vladimir Putin has effected modern day Russia. The author talks about how the people of Russia view Putin, 80% of the population sees him as corrupt and self-serving. Also, this article tells about the effect of other nations on Putin. For example, during the protests in Ukraine in 2013, Putin saw opportunity to expand territory. This made Putin more pleasing to the public. Although Russia has been functioning efficiently with Putin, looking in the future when Putin leaves office it could lead to a major crisis. This relates to the Europe unit as we learned about the corruption and importance of leaders in Italy.
