[uhnope]

Wife beater; KGB failure; threatened to shoot Berlin Wall protesters; these are among the relevations in new documentary.

Vladimir Putin regularly used violence against his divorced wife Lyudmila, a new German documentary about the Russian leader has claimed.

Putin the Man, made by ZDF television and shown for the first time this week, claimed to have been given access to previously unseen files of an unidentified Western intelligence agency.

The files include details of Mr Putin’s time as a young KGB officer stationed in Dresden in the eighties, as well as his later rise to power in Russia.

They contain information from a secretary inside the Dresden KGB office codenamed “Lehnchen”, who befriended Mr Putin's ex-wife and said he used beat Lyudmila regularly.

I tend to take these political hatchet jobs with a pound of salt no matter what the source is. The truth is generally a lot less colorful although people who get to be world leaders, especially in Russia, are not generally nice people. They're the type who are willing to kick and claw their way to the top, worldwide.
