Putin was trained by the KGB.

If he was a communist and had control of Russia than Russia wouldn't be the way it was.

It may surprise you that some capitalism supporters got into power in the soviet union before Yeltsin ordered the parliament to be bombarded with tanks, dissolving the socialist democracy and bringing about capitalism in former soviet states.

So we agree. Putin was trained by the Soviet KGB.

Yes, but we disagree on whether that makes him a communist. He is a leader of a very capitalist country.
