Vladimir Putin holds a degree, described in most places as the equivalent of a PhD others as an MBA, from Leningrad State University (We've always been big LSU fans). He wrote a dissertation, or a thesis. The title was "Strategic Planning of the Reproduction of the Mineral Resource Base of a Region Under Conditions of the Formation of Market Relations." Breathe.
Putin's dissertation/thesis was plagiarized from a business textbook, Strategic Planning and Policy, written by Professors William King and David Cleland of the University of Pittsburgh (We have always been big Pitt fans).
We now leave the Twilight Zone and return you to regularly scheduled programming.
