The founder of Nezavisimaya Gazeta, which once claimed to be impartial and even liberal, has been influenced by the political situation for the past three decades. In the 1990s, he sided with Berezovsky and then began praising Putin and his foreign and domestic policies. He has written several books dedicated to Vladimir Putin, and according to him, “Putin is undoubtedly one of the three most politically successful leaders of the country of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. Only Stalin and Lenin are ahead of him, and Putin is the third.”
