13. 2014 was his watershed year

and that's when he stepped up his troll farm attacks against the west, annexed Crimea, and invaded Donbass.

2014 was the Maidan revolution in Ukraine, probably why he punished them first. The other thing that happened is that his wife divorced him. While details are nonexistent, one wonders if there was some change in him that provoked it.

My own take is that he is completely in control of Russia but there might be some personal demons controlling him. The latter is pure conjecture. I just know something changed rather drastically around 2014.
