<div>I personally think Putin was a good choice for the "Man of the Year" Time magazine title. Whether for good or bad, he has had a nearly overwhelming influence on modern Russia, one of the most powerful nations in the world. And not all the people who have gotten this title over the years have been saints. <br>
</div>
<div>But the way this all came about is another story, entirely. My question is..., were any real laws broken during this successful effort to boost Putin's name? Or was this just global big business/public relations doing things "business as usual" in an ethical gray zone where spotlights are rarely brought to bear. I had no idea PR firm executives could make such large sums of money! lol And so I guess a Master's degree in public relations is on par with a law degree if your career takes the right trajectory.</div>
