The great man theory shit is especially insane here because Putin was literally allowed into power by Russian and western oligarchs as a compromise to the Russian people to prevent communism from coming back. Its actually hard to even imagine a more clear example of important people being a result of their societies and conditions rather than the other way around.

Have any good articles on this? My knowledge of that period of Russian history is pretty spotty.
