Anders Hedman, a 60-year-old Swede, describes Vladimir Putin as his natural business partner in the 1990s, when Putin was a West-friendly official who admired Scandinavia and Carl Bildt. He insists it is the same Vladimir he knew, despite Putin now being a West-hostile dictator threatening Scandinavia with war. Hedman recounts their close relationship, including weekend trips.
