Putin was chosen by Russian oligarchs after the second sovereign default in 10 years.

He used to carry luggage for the mayor of St Petersburg, Sobchak.

An Islamic caliphate started a civil war in the South of Russia before he was chosen, this is why Russian oligarchs needed a man with a military backgound.
