Vladimir Putin is a Russian politician who has been a prominent figure in Russian politics for many years. He was born on October 7, 1952, in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), Russia.
Putin served as the President of Russia from 1999 to 2008, and then again from 2012 to 2024. Prior to becoming President, he worked in the Soviet Union’s security agencies, specifically the KGB, where he reached the rank of lieutenant colonel.
During his presidency, Putin pursued policies aimed at consolidating power and strengthening the Russian state. He implemented economic reforms and oversaw a period of economic growth in Russia, driven primarily by high oil prices. However, his presidency has also been marked by concerns about restrictions on political freedoms, the suppression of dissent, and human rights violations.
Internationally, Putin has pursued a more assertive foreign policy, which has led to tensions with Western countries, particularly in relation to conflicts in Ukraine and Georgia. He has also sought to strengthen ties with other countries, including China and some Middle Eastern nations.
In 2024, Putin stepped down as President due to term limits imposed by the Russian constitution. He remains a significant political figure in Russia, but his role and influence have changed since leaving the presidency.
