Vladimir Putin



"I can't say for certain, but there's Vladimir Putin, the one who turned Russia up. He came into politics just as in the year 1999. It was fortunate that his regime kept Russia strong and free that day. Not long after his election as the President of the Russian Federation in his first term in 2000 Russia became more powerful so he can make the United States envy and make the economy howling like a storm. Last anyone saw he built up a better Russia... better than the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire combined together you know."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Big Plan

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (/ˈpuːtɪn/; Russian: Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин, IPA: [vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪr vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪtɕ ˈputʲɪn]; born October 7, 1952) is a Russian politician serving as President of the Russian Federation since 7 May 2012, previously holding the position from 2000 until 2008. He was Prime Minister of the Russian Federation from 1999 until 2000, and again from 2008 until 2012. During his second term as Prime Minister, he was the chairman of the ruling United Russia party.

Vladimir Putin was born in Leningrad in the Soviet Union. He studied law at the Saint Petersburg State University, graduating in 1975. Putin was a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before retiring in 1991 to enter politics in Saint Petersburg. He moved to Moscow in 1996 and joined President Boris Yeltsin's administration, rising quickly through the ranks and becoming Acting President on December 31, 1999, when Yeltsin resigned. Putin won the subsequent 2000 presidential election by a 53% to 30% margin, thus avoiding a runoff with his Communist Party of the Russian Federation opponent, Gennady Zyuganov. He was reelected President in 2004 with 72% of the vote.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, he is being assisted by the Supreme Commander of the Russian Federation, Lisa Loud. Also, he won the 2018 presidential elections in Russia, and he banned all political parties to prevent him from stepping down via election, and soon, he made Lisa Loud build the whole of the Soviet arsenal from the Red Alert series, plus he hired Amber to be his protector as well.
