Taking On Putin is a podcast about what makes the Master of the Kremlin do what he does: the poisonings, the killings, the wars.

Help us fund the 'Taking on Putin' podcast

This is a podcast about what makes Vladimir Putin do the things he does. President Joe Biden has said that Putin is a killer. I think Joe Biden is wrong about that. Vladimir Putin is not a killer. He's a serial killer.

I'm John Sweeney and I'm in Kyiv right now but I first saw how Vladimir Putin acts in Chechnya in 2000. Twenty-two years on, Taking On Putin is my attempt to understand what makes the Master of the Kremlin tick.
