Vladimir Poutine, au pouvoir depuis plus de vingt ans, incarne une trajectoire politique quasi monarchique. Issu des services de renseignement, il a su se hisser au sommet du Kremlin et façonner son propre mythe. Personnage complexe, stratège redoutable, chef de guerre qualifié tour à tour de tsar ou de tyran ou de Hitler moderne, il est l’une des figures politiques les plus représentées et caricaturées au monde. Ses choix stratégiques controversés sont présentés comme autant de réponses à l’hégémonie occidentale.

Among the leaders of the 20th century, arguably none shaped the course of history as much as Vladimir Lenin. If Adolf Hitler had not inflicted the devastation of World War II upon Europe, it's quite likely that the West would consider Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) the 20th century's greatest tyrant. Along with Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky led the October Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and held crucial posts in the early Soviet governments.

Novelist Vladimir Nabokov witnessed the horrors of his century, escaping Revolutionary Russia then Germany under Hitler, and fleeing France with his Jewish wife and son just weeks before Paris fell to the Nazis. He repeatedly faced accusations of turning a blind eye to human suffering to write artful tales of depravity. But does one of the greatest writers in the English language really deserve the label of amoral aesthete bestowed on him by so many critics?
