VLADIMIR PUTIN -- BEFORE THEY WERE FAMOUS - Russian leader - Before Vladimir Putin became the leader of Russia, running the country as both President and Pri...
When Vladimir Putin (born 1952) was appointed prime minister of Russia, very little was known about his background. This former Soviet intelligence agent entered politics in the early 1990s and rose rapidly. By August of 1999, ailing President Boris Yeltsin appointed him prime minister. When Yeltsinstepped down that December, Putin became the acting president. He went on to win the March 2000 election to retain his presidential post.
It may be just the latest global chess move to further push the world's population into war but I've noticed the mainstream media's coverage of Vladimir Putin has taken an undeserved bad turn.
The sometimes shirtless, usually serious image of Russian President Vladimir Putin is a ubiquitous sight in international politics. As one of the most powerful men in the world, Putin has long tried to cultivate a public persona that projects strength, and the result has been an endless procession of photo ops that show the ex-KGB officer performing some kind of masculine feat while he holds a steely look.
Vladimir Putin is presently the President of Russia and has been an intelligence officer for a long time. This biography provides detailed information about his childhood, profile, career and timeline.
