Who is Vladimir Putin?

Vladimir Putin is the current President of Russia. He is into his fourth term as the President. He is considered as an autocrat with little respect for human rights and has been accused of ordering assassinations of his critics and opponents. Besides being a President, he has also served as the Prime Minister and was a foreign intelligence officer before entering the politics. He was born in a middle class family and had a dream of becoming an intelligence officer since childhood. He realized this dream and entered the ‘KGB’ the Russian intelligence agency. He was posted in various places as an undercover agent. For a larger part of his life, he served at the agency. Eventually, he got involved in political affairs of the country and resigned from ‘KGB’. He then, diligently worked for the welfare of the country and its people, which soon earned him recognition. Finally, when the then President of Russia Boris Yeltsin decided to step down from his post, he found no better successor than Putin and appointed him as the president of the country. A few months later, the elections took place and there too he emerged as the winner. The deft handling of issues with admirable efficiency led to his re-election for a second term to the office of President of Russia. Since as per Russian constitution, he was ineligible to run for presidency for the third consecutive term, Dmitry Medvedev ran for the office of the President and Putin became the Prime Minister. In 2012, when Medvedev's term ended, Putin once again became the President for the third time. In 2018, he was re-elected for his fourth-term as a President.
