Unfortunately, I forgot I meant to post this in advance.

There was a very good two-part PBS Frontline program on Putin, covering a very broad range of aspects, his rising through the ranks, his elimination of "enemies," his contempt for America.

Did any of you see it? You can check your local affiliate to ask when it will be re-broadcast.

I did watch them when they aired on PBS. It was riveting. They are also available on YT if I am not mistaken. Well worth the watch.

I need to watch that, thanks for the links. Another interesting take on Putin’s history and the motivation behind his Ukraine (and maybe Eastern Europe) campaign:

Been working a lot of hours lately but did wake up for a few minutes when my wife was watching it and I would like to see iy in it's entirety as it looked interesting.

Thanks. That reminds me, I also ran across, also on PBS:

Zelenskyy: The Man Who Took On Putin
https://www.pbs.org/video/zelenskyy-...l-documentary/

It's not as wonderful as the Frontline, but still interesting.
