If you were a good man where can you help family, friends , country and church the most? A position of power. You can't help no one when you are poor and a Soviet government pretends to pay you. He is not stupid he went toward the only occupation and career which had any future. He was smart enough and clever enough for them to accept him. Many people in our history work in jobs and positions where we could of easily question loyalty. The proof is what is happening now and what deeds the person has done. I see Putin has only his country at heart which can not be a bad thing for his people. If that means the defeat of Soros and deep state he is doing God's work.
