In 1992, as he rose through the ranks of St. Petersburg politics, Vladimir Putin commissioned a film about himself called “Vlast,” or “Power.” He used it to reveal a secret about his past, and to make a promise he didn’t keep.

  1. "Power" was recorded in 1991 by Igor Shadkhan at the request of Putin. It was a part of a documentary series that was being made about Anatoly Sobchak. Putin was in some deep do-do when he made the documentary, too. It's cool to see how he held himself together and didn't stress out at all.
