    All the books I’m finding about the history of the FSB and Putin, I would assume they have the same information in there though.

    basically putin’s a fucking weasel, but he’s good at office politics and wormed his way into the FSB and then quietly accrued power using increasingly fascist methods until he had enough leverage to overthrow the government.

    “seize the throne” might be a better phrase to use there.
