Humorous Russian book review of lesbian Jewess’ newest Putin-bashing book

Book Review and Commentary: The Man Without A Face. The Unlikely Rise of Vladimír Putin.

                                      by B. Chapski

Info against Putin is appearing 24 hours a day, seven days a week, each and every month. It is being disseminated by TV, newspapers, periodicals and magazines. One wonders if it’s advantageous to create animosity and utilize dubious propaganda, instead of diplomacy against Putin. After all, he’s an individual that’s extremely popular in his country? This is especially fascinating if the person in question represents the first or second major nuclear power on Mother Earth. Thus, one became interested in source material pertaining to this ponerology.

One of the most pertinent  -if not the most crucial-  of anti-Putin authors, journalists and activists is Masha Gessen. This review pertains to her book entitled The Man Without A Face. The Unlikely Rise of Vladimír Putin. It contains 342 pages. It was printed in other languages besides English. It paints a picture of why Putin is loathed.

MG’s work has appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek, Vanity Fair and several other anti-majority or leftists inclined publications, around the globe including Izvestia. David Remnick of The New Yorker stated that Gessen is one of the most important activists and journalists Russia has known in a generation. Timothy Snyder wrote that Gessen is unparalleled in her understanding of events that have wracked her native country. A plethora of Lefty and anti-majority media has used the ideology propagated by Masha. So, lets touch MG’s psych and network.

She had been invited on Russian state television and radio. She had edited the magazine Vokrug Sveta. Like David Horowitz, she has been in demand. She knew many famous individuals. She even refers to the owner of an NBA team.

One of her contacts, is billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov.

He had made his fortune by purchasing and reselling. He was opulent like Gusinsky, Berezovsky, Khodorkovsky, Abramovich and others within what was called the kleptocracy and oligarchy by Russian nationalists.

Masha Gessen, like Charles Krauthammer, considered that incredibly successful transnational elite were unique entrepreneurs. Putin, a former member of the Russian secret police, had these unparalleledly powerful  “businessmen”  incarcerated. Unlike America’s George Soros, they were jailed despite having jets and an army of guards and lawyers. Some were lucky and escaped to Israel. Others, past middle age, apparently not wishing to learn Hebrew, landed in London and the USA.

The author tells us that she had spent years studying Vladimir Putin. (p. 299)  She poured over just about everything he had ever written. Although it appears, at least to this reviewer, that Masha has no special skills, she is worldly and has travelled to numerous renowned municipalities, such as Prague. She had also been invited to Australia to promote her anti-Putin book.

She once obtained a set of DVDs from a Hebrew peacenik. It containing just about every Putin speech. For background info about the Russian president she goes to his family, childhood, young adult life and his evolving power. So, what does her psychological man without a face represent?

Seems Vladimir Putin’s family were below average in health and wealth. His dad was crippled in WWII. Putin’s mother had nothing special about her. His family did not live in any impressive apartment. Reading other works by Gessen one ponders if Putin’s family was just about zero in any rankings.

As a child, Putin had a lot to be desired. He was known to engage in fist fights. Gessen tells her readers that Putin had beaten up drunks. He even went to a school to learn about fighting. The author entitles her chapter about Putin’s youth as, The Autobiography of a Thug. (p. 42) That’s a volume of info about her perception of Putin’s foundation.

The author indicates that he was not an exceptional student. Putin got a “C” grade as a university student. Apparently that’s important to know.

During the summer Putin’s family had to be of little importance; he worked on construction sites. One time he and his friends traveled from the far north to the Black Sea. He did eventually get a car. However, that was because of the goodness from his father’s heart.

We also read about Gessen’s other perceptions. She goes into what Putin thought about liking Stasi, Germans and the old USSR. Gessen refers to Putin’s behavior. She more than once claims that Putin used vulgar language (p. 96). Interestingly enough, while the country was going through turmoil, that lowly ranked Putin got to see a Russian general (Major General Yuri Drozdov, head of a KGB intelligence department).

In a way Mikhail Gorbachev was responsible for Putin. He allowed Yeltsin to badmouth him and didn’t give that drunk a long incarceration. Gorbachev was into reforms. In turn his glasnost (openness) had the press running wild with new-found freedoms. He sought to remold communism. Unlike Trump and the Law-unto-itself-FBI/DOJ, Gorby sought to dismantle the KGB.

He stopped censorship and the jamming of Western radio. Gorby commuted sentences of political prisoners. All this brought about Gorbachev’s demise. His defenders were like Jeff Sessions.

Then dissidents appeared just about everywhere. Many folks stopped working and rats appeared on some sidewalks. Yeltsin just about insisted that Gorbachev was an arse. While the country was changing, we read that Putin was burning pertinent documents. He was in E. Germany, a Soviet state with a once-model obedience. Then, suddenly citizens were protesting against the Stasi; people were demonstrating against Putin’s friends (pp. 66- 69). Yet, most of Dresden’s Stasi guardians were of little importance; they were just paper-pushers like VP. In 1990 the Berlin Wall was being destroyed. The Red world had gone crazy.

East Germany had just celebrated her 40th birthday and more than a thousand Berliners had to be incarcerated by Stasi and other authorities. Gessen informs that “a middle aged, out-of-shape Putin”  watched  “his dreams and hopes for the future” demolished. (p. 67)

Tens of thousands of East Germans went to Budapest and Warsaw to hitch rides on to Capitalism  -the West !

Obviously, Masha could just about read Putin’s mind. We read that Putin “always wanted to have things.” He made little money and “he wanted a stereo system.” West German radicals would always come bearing gifts. Unfortunately, they gave other Germans more than they gave to Russians. (65)

The author tells us money was always a problem for Putin. Also, he was not in a real foreign state of any significance. He had worked for 20 years, had a pregnant wife and then a second daughter. He had mastered the German language simply to be reduced to useless info gathering. The author tells us Putin was unimportant, but “he wanted to rule the world.” (p. 59) He did learn to be fluent in the German language, but “he had an accent.” (p. 62)

Masha’s book is full of media icons and TV stars. Her work touches such transnational networking comrades as George Sores and Alex Goldfarb [photo] (who gave info pertaining to what Gessen indicates is Putin’s evil murderous regime).

As one reads along, Gessen notes that the man without a face met one of the herculean rich Oligarchs. It was King Maker Berezovsky.

He soon claimed Putin as his protégé. Earlier, Berezovsky, had been a former car dealer and taught Russian youth as an academic. Seems Berezovsky had a network from Tel Aviv to London, that was almost without boundaries. He could use Putin.

The author praises Berezovsky, a one time friend of Gusinsky. She tells us that, like most of the oligarchy, he had boundless energy and was of Jewish heritage. (p. 17) Gessen refers to an old shtetl joke about a watchmaker and the Rothschild empire. We discover that Berezovsky befriended Putin. When Berezovsky’s friend, Boris Yeltsin, was looking for a successor, Berezovsky insisted on Putin.

Vladimir would be easy to control. Kinda like King Bushy II’s neocon WMD regime.

When the president retired  he would not allow the persecution of Yeltsin. This was a key for Berezovsky, Jelcin and the Oligarchy. The author insists, as a title of a chapter in her book emphasizes, that Putin was An Accidental President. (p. 11)  Putin, a bureaucrat, immediately begin appointing friends to positions in the federal structure. (p. 18)  Reminds one of the so called “First US Black President” (Clinton), Neo-con-ski Bush and Multicultural Obama’s appointments.

We read that the “would-be” Russian president asserted that he believed in capitalism. However, once in power, he became something of the worst kind of citizen, a nationalist. He caused panic in world wide media.

The “would-be puppet” was out of control. He unfairly took the press out of the hands of the oligarchy and even nationalized major TV. In fact, he took all critical media out of the grasp of the oligarchy. Americans speak of unfortunate enemies of the Clintons as having had fatal accidents. However, according to the author, what they don’t realize is that influential and other people have been killed for political reasons in Russia. (p. 226) Masha’s allegations point to Putin.

Masha tells her readers that Putin even worked in a place where Yuri Andropov had laboured. She writes that Putin, a man without a face, had little political experience. As for culture, one time he attended a European Union event. When the Estonian President, Lennart Meri, spoke negatively about Putin’s country, Vladimir was so discourteous that he left the room (p.133).

Gessen’s section on voting is especially entertaining. MG emphasized that in Putin’s first election he got 52% of the vote. Masha tells us that Chechnya had a population of under 400,000. Yet, 460,000 voted. Kinda like some of the Democratic regions in Chicago and California. Reminds one of all our US verified cemetery voting.

Makes one wonder about cities during Putin’s rein. What does Gessen have to say about this? According to her, under Putin cities such as Murmansk have dilapidated buildings. For some reason she didn’t mention Sochi was built for the Winter Olympics. Apparently that metropolis must be outside the scope of her objectivity.

So what about the Russian military? Under Yeltsin it fell apart. However, under Putin’s regime the Kursk, a nuclear submarine, sunk. Putin was on vacation. Moreover, the crew was undertrained. Because of incompetence the crew expired. Gessen tells us that there were several Russian battleships near the Kursk. They didn’t solve anything. Later, even though the ship was in shallow waters, the Norwegians had to assist. (pp. 164- 167).

The MSM has told countless millions that Putin was more than a disaster for capitalistic free enterprise.  Putin has had communication with unsavory and morally wrong elements within the Middle East.

Seems he doesn’t belong there. Besides this, a chief advisor of Putin did not believe in global warming. (p. 230)  Yesterday Iraq. Tomorrow Iran?

As for diplomacy and conflict, when Putin came into power there were terrorist attacks by Chechens. The Russian- Chechen War had been going on for ten years. Putin put a stop to it. How?  By cruel means. As for helping Russian citizens, after a Chechenian attack in Russia, Putin was again incompetent. His regime used underground passages in a theater to detonate sleeping gas. The goal was to save lives and to knock out Chechynian warriors. Results: Many Russians fell asleep and later choked to death on their own vomit. (p. 207)

MG then tells us about her being on the battlefield. Masha wrote that she would have preferred to stay on the side of  Chechnya. (p. 149)  This was very confusing. Was she not born in Russia? At that time she was a Russian citizen?

Gessen’s readers learn more about Putin by seeing his comrades. One of Putin’s friends, Sobchak, even had a peroxide blond as a wife.  She didn’t trust her husband out of her sight. That’s the kind of people in Putin’s circle. (p. 143)

Masha writes pages pertaining to Sobchak’s dishonesty within “a city composed of large apartment buildings.” I had visited the region of her descriptions when it was Leningrad. Perhaps I was too tired to see her identifications of slime, as I rode in cars and took public transportation (all over that metropolitan historic setting).

As for ideology, Putin does not believe in allowing Leftists, like Soros and AntiFa,  to have the same type of playing field as they do in the USA against Trump and his majorityites. For example, a Yana Dubeykovskaya and Sergei Glezyev (Lefty activists) were unable to find a firm that would print their anti-majority material. It was so unfair.

Another time, when there was an attempt to hold an event in Yekaterinburg, the largest city in the Urals, authorities hindered everything. (p. 185)   A colourful example of Putin’s villainy, among many examples, was when a Lefty tried to speak and electricity was shut off!  Even Western media heroes, like Sakharov, a peaceful Hebrew, were hindered. Berezovsky, a Hebrew philanthropist, had to give a grant to keep Russia’s Sakharov museum open. (p. 174) On a larger scale it would be like Washington not supporting her Holocaust museum. Terrible.

To make a correlation between freedom and Russia, think of those jumping on cars in US cities.

When protesters assaulted others and broke windows in California, they were able to wear masks. To grasp what kind of vile soul Putin has we are informed that those who demonstrate in Russia can do so, but are not allowed to wear face masks.

Masha writes a lot about how she has fought for human rights. She praised Pussy Riot. She supplied news about that group made famous by the MSM. In her writings pertaining to Pussy Riot, she does not refer to Pussy Riot’s urination in Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

Rather she paints the Pussy Riot feminists as heroes. She must know something numerous Christian and European writers do not know.

In her book Masha even has a page showing a picture with the wording, “The Passion of Pussy Riot.”  She emphasizes much about what appears to be her beautiful female icons (Pussy Riot). She informs her Russian, English and other language readers that three young women of Pussy Riot were even sentenced to incarceration… Why? Simply because they gave an unauthorized performance inside of a Christian Moscow Cathedral. (p. 294)

Conclusiosion:

 Gessen had worked hard for her version of human rights and tolerance. Regrettably the nationalist Christian Putin had made her work virtually impossible. It seems that’s a reason why she took her female partner [Svetlana] with their two children to live and become part of New York.

Her children consider Putin as a bogeyman. (p. 286)

Reading her books makes one think she’s a poster example for the abused. She doesn’t seem to have any special talents as a writer, but she did have psychological pain.

Despite her agony, somehow, she was able to prosper, to publish books that have appeared in the USA, GB, Russia, Australia and many other countries. (p.291) That inspires belief. Seems the incredible is possible for some. Writers with far more talent than MG can’t even envision such success.

The author informs her enormous readership that she not only had DVDs of the Russian President; she had met Putin, her nemesis, and he was self-centered and dishonest. Animal lovers should realize that he is such a bad individual that he even had a Siberian tiger tranquilized. This was so he could take a picture with the animal (after it has been sedated!). She writes that she found it painful to even look at Putin. (p. 302)

To penetrate MG’s psyche on how bad Putin is, realize that VP had, personally, with his own hands, put a satellite-transmitter collar on a wild Siberian animal. Could the egocentric personality, painted by Gessen, be one of the reasons he built an ultra modern city for the Olympic Games held in Russia? For some reason she forgets Sochi.

The author refers to Vladimír as a megalomaniac who is against her community and not good for the country of her birth or society in general. Gessen writes that Putin as “… one man has unleashed a war against my kind   -the gays-   and my other kind   -the journalists-  and even against Ukraine as well.” (p. 314)  MG ties in “her queer kind” with others.

We read that Putin has even allowed anti-gay campaigns to become a mainstay of Russian life and Russian politics. Gessen tells her large audience that gays are portrayed as dangerous to traditional European family values. (p. 309)

Readers are told that the president of Russia is such a vile individual that his regime banned blood and sperm donations from queers. We read that if queers were to die in car accidents their bodies might be burnt (p. 308)

Once Berezovsky had Alex Goldfarb, an opulent American friend, immediately fly to Turkey. There, Litvinenko, an enemy of Putin, was taken to Ankara’s  American Embassy. Seems to certain heroes money was/ is no object. Masha Gessen at one time worked for Vladimír Gusinsky. Gusinsky was a multibillionaire or trillionaire. Gusinsky owned not only TV facilities but a magazine where the author was employed. (p. 36) I had once read that Litvinenko was something like a double agent connected in Ukraine. That’s were billions of dollars were exchanged between the US State Department and ex-Israelis who had returned to Europe. I don’t know how much is true. At any rate, according to recent media, Putin caught up to Litvinenko (he was murdered).

Many loath Putin. He is hated by the oligarchs that lost their businesses and control of the media. Thus, friends of the oligarch’s MSM and transnational corporatists fear Putin’s example. Networking and billionaire queers are averse to Vladimir. Elements despising Christians have disdain for VP.

Masses who re-migrated to Ukraine and their kin, scorn the Russian President and have supported the conflict in Ukraine. The Left and other anti-majorityites have similar sentiments as those mentioned.

Majority [white Russians]

To be fair, Gessen noted that Putin is not the only evil Russian within Moscow. The readership learns that a speechwriter for Gorbachev had the audacity to warn that If the  “Ukraine went west, that would lead to a broadening of this sphere of gay culture which has become the EU’s official policy.” (p.  314)

In all probability, that type of mainstream reasoning could be one of the major factors why Western MSM has disseminated MG’s labour.  She writes about Putin’s regime fighting to protect the rights of the majority; his Government resists tolerance and stands up for conservatism, ensuring that the culture is national in nature. (p. 315)

The Western monopoly mainstream media’s allegations portray Putin as deplorable. The deceased newspaper and TV icon

wrote that Putin unfairly incarcerated one of Russia’s richest entrepreneurs. TV has insisted that Putin tried to take the presidency away from Hillary. Masha’s message indicates Putin is beyond despicable. If we adjudicate all those allegations, it seems Masha’s picture of Putin shows one thing; mainly, he is amongst the worst of all creatures living on Mother Earth.

But there’s a dilemma. Yes, there’s hundreds of millions who have seen the portrait painted by those listed above. However, they still would not even buy the frame.
