1. The purpose in actively recruiting repressed Soviet gays for professional KGB work was to exploit and channel resentment among those living in the society that would never accept the men for who they were, and to empower them in the service of the Communist Party and the Soviet state.

1. Svyatenkov, the Putin critic, speculates that the “vertikal of power” that attracts Putin could not function without this KGB psychology brought into the Kremlin. He continues, “The patsan is an active homosexual, respected in labor camp, not the pathetic petukh. Why is this cult necessary? Because people are afraid. They are afraid they will be ‘dropped.’ And in order not to be ‘dropped,’ you have to ‘drop’ others first.”71 This brings us back to Putin’s alleged membership in the male rape gang during his adolescent years in Leningrad, which we will discuss further.

1. A Russian leader like Putin, who upheld the ethos of the Chekist while crowning himself as the state patron of Russian Orthodox Christianity, coming out would be politically and socially impossible

1. Indeed, changing identities seems second nature to gay men who faced homophobia, ostracism, and hostility, and these “psychological defenses become highly elaborated to bind the accompanying chronic anxiety and to maintain a tenuous and brittle false identity,” according to a 1982 article in that same gay-affirmative academic journal.

1. Putin never made it to the prestigious First Chief Directorate, spun off from the KGB in 1991 and now called the External Intelligence Service (SVR). He only made it to the Second Chief Directorate, which was split from the KGB in 1991 and is now known as the Federal Security Service (FSB).

1. Putin’s only posting outside the USSR was in East Germany. He had the dull and un-prestigious job of supervising a local Stasi secret police unit.

1. That standard investigation is said to have revealed Putin’s repressed gay orientation and adolescent gang activities that were known to others. That, and the fact that some of his peers knew about it back in Leningrad, are believed to have been the factors which prevented Putin from becoming a foreign intelligence officer.75

1. Litvinenko, the FSB officer who defected to London in 2000, learned it differently. He said that the KGB prevented Putin from becoming a foreign intelligence officer in the First Chief Directorate “because, shortly after his graduation, his bosses learned that Putin was a pedophile.”76

1. s. However, Putin had the drive, talent, instincts, and temperament beneficial for KGB service. It thus suited the KGB’s purposes to place such a repressed individual in the internal security services to more easily oppress the population of a society that was oppressing him.

1. So Putin’s facility with false and changing identities is not explained by his KGB training or work. It can be explained, however, as part of a coping strategy of gay men who faced devaluation growing up.

1. Further to these false and shifting identities, Bergler wrote decades earlier that his repressed gay patients “excel in circumlocution” and attempt to make logical dialogue difficult.77 German Chancellor Angela Merkel, after dialogues with Putin following the 2014 attack on Ukraine, complained that Putin lives “in another world,”78 and other Western interlocutors have also complained of this habit of circumlocution by the Russian leader

1. Many who have interacted with Putin in politics or diplomacy find him capricious, trifling, saying the opposite of what he means, and using circumlocution to mask his intent. Former U.S. president Barack Obama described Putin this way in his latest memoir: … Putin launched into an animated and seemingly endless monologue chronicling every perceived injustice, betrayal, and slight that he and the Russian people had suffered at the hands of the Americans. … With the fastidiousness of a teenager on Instagram, he curated a constant stream of photo ops, projecting an almost satirical image of masculine vigor … all the while practicing a casual chauvinism and homophobia ….79

1. On the surface such reasoning seems irrelevant or malicious, but Jung’s students found a relationship between repressed homosexuality and obsession with poison.

1. It turns out that an analysis of poetry written by homosexuals shows an unusual abundance of references to poison.

1. In his 1943 OSS psychological profile, Langer noted that Hitler “has a pathological fear of poisoning by mouth. . . .”81 Primary source information surfaced decades later to confirm Langer’s assessment. During the war, the Führer had young women serve as his personal food tasters. “Hitler was so paranoid that the British would poison him; that’s why he had 15 girls taste the food before he ate it himself,” 95-yearold Margaret Woelk revealed in 2013, after 70 years of silence.

1. Hitler’s contemporary, NKVD chief Nikolai Yezhov, showed a similar fixation with, or fear of, being poisoned. Earlier it was shown how he accused his predecessor, Grigori Yagoda, of trying to poison him with mercury. At his show trial, Yagoda was accused of murdering anti-homosexual Soviet writer Maxim Gorky and his son with poison—not necessarily a fixation, but an established fact. We are on thin ice here, because the Soviet secret police had been developing poisons as weapons of assassination since the 1920s, but we mention it as a marker for further research.

1. Putin presided over a revival, of sorts, of employing poison as a weapon of assassination. Many of Putin’s high-profile critics were murdered with several types of poison. Aleksei Navalny is about the tenth poisoned high-profile Putin critic, a disturbing trend that began with anti-KGB journalist and parliament member Yuri Shchekochikhin in 2003, three years after Putin took power.84

1. Mutilation and puncture are also themes that crop up often with Vladimir Putin—another admittedly thin data point, but one marked nevertheless for future reference. As a child, Putin reportedly cut off the heads of ducks for fun.85 As Russian leader, Putin often uses mutilation and puncture metaphors. He famously answered a journalist’s critical question after a failed EU-Russia summit: “If you want a circumcision, come to us, we have specialists on this procedure. I will recommend them to do it in such a way, that nothing ever grows back there for you.”8

1. Instead of projecting Russia as strong and united under his rule, Putin frequently accuses outside forces of attempting to mutilate and dismember Russia. He did so in his state speech in December 2014 and in other speeches and interviews.88

1. Russians as a nation seem to think that centralizing power into one person assures more protection against Russia’s (real or imagined) enemies. This is a line that Putin and his adulators use often to justify their authoritarian moves and eliminate critics and institutions in general.

1. This is why the Russian government, like the governments of the more influential Western democracies, do full-field background investigations of military and civilian personnel who will assume sensitive positions of trust in their respective societies.

1. Dictators are especially vulnerable, though, for as powerful as they might be as rulers, their type of rule lacks the checks and balances that vet them or at least protect them from what the Russians call kompromat.

1. Bergler, the psychoanalyst, noted that gay men in denial, in addition to the panoply of masochistic relations with other people, sometimes also practice what he termed a “Herostratic act.” This act of great destructiveness is named after Herostratos, who burned down the temple of Artemis in ancient Greece with the sole purpose of gaining fame.

1. For example, Kuchins, the scholar whose 2015 posting speculated openly that Putin’s repressed homosexuality may explain Russian policy paradoxes, wrote a long policy memo for president-elect Donald Trump in late 2016 in which Putin’s psychosexual identity appears nowhere.89
