Solo conocen a Putin

A few hours before the millennium celebrations on December 31, 1999, President Boris Yeltsin resigned and appointed Vladimir Putin as interim president.

From St. Petersburg to Eastern Siberia, the report accompanies several representatives of this generation: from Putin's fanatical admirer to a passionate opposition activist.
