Since	  Vladimir	  Putin	  first	  took	  office	  at	  the	  beginning	  of	  the	  twentieth-­‐century,	  many politicians	  and	  scholars	  have	  called	  his	  methods	  of	  ruling	  of	  Russia	  into	  question.	  This paper	  seeks	  to	  explain	  the	  reasons	  for	  the	  actions	  that	  Putin	  has	  taken	  while	  in	  charge	  of Russia,	  particularly	  in	  the	  respect	  to	  the	  claim	  that	  he	  has	  created	  an	  “authoritarian	  state” similar	  to	  the	  one	  of	  the	  former	  Soviet	  Union.	  In	  doing	  so,	  the	  paper	  will	  analyze	  three	  key aspects:	  Putin’s	  background,	  institutional	  background,	  and	  securitization.	  Additionally,	  the paper	  will	  be	  framed	  in	  a	  context	  that	  focuses	  on	  the	  US-­‐Russian	  relations,	  and	  will	  focus	  on the	  Putin’s	  first	  term	  of	  presidency.	  However,	  as	  the	  conflicts	  in	  Russia	  continue	  to	  grow,	  it is	  essential	  to	  analyze	  Putin’s	  decisions	  and	  interactions	  in	  regards	  to	  Ukraine.
