Putin's Way

Part of the Series: Frontline

The larger-than-life Russian leader has held power -- with one title or another -- for 15 years, and is set to reign for at least a decade more. Yet Putin remains inscrutable.

With only a smattering of biographical details released to the public and his sometimes puzzling public appearances, scholars -- and even many world leaders -- still struggle to understand the man at the helm of the Kremlin.

To glean a clearer picture, FRONTLINE took a closer look at some of the most identifiable aspects of Putin's public persona.
