Vladimir PutinIntroductionVladimir Vladimirovich Putin is a former intelligence officer and politician from Russia. He was born on October 7, 1952. Since 1999, Putin has held both the presidency and the prime ministership continuously. He was prime minister from 2008 to 2012 and president from 2000 to 2008. After 16 years of service, Putin became a lieutenant colonel in the KGB's foreign intelligence service. He left in 1991 to start a political career in Saint Petersburg. He relocated to Moscow in 1996 to work in President Boris Yeltsin's administration. Prior to being named prime minister in August 1999, he held the positions of secretary of the Russian Security Council and director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) for brief periods. Putin took over as acting president after Yeltsin resigned, and in less than four months, he was elected to his first term in office. In 2004, he was subsequently reelected. Putin held the position of prime minister once again under Dmitry Medvedev from 2008 to 2012 as a result of the constitution's prohibition on two consecutive presidential terms. After a 2012 election characterized by demonstrations and accusations of fraud, he took office again and was reelected in 2018. Following a vote, he ratified constitutional revisions in April 2021, one of which permitted him to seek reelection twice more, thereby prolonging his term as president until 2036. The Russian economy expanded by 7% annually on average during Putin's first term as president, thanks to economic reforms and a five-fold rise in the price of petrol and oil. Putin also led Russia in a war against separatists in Chechnya, which restored federal rule over the area. He supervised a military confrontation with Georgia and implemented police and military reforms while acting as prime minister under Medvedev. During his third tenure as president, Russia invaded Crimea. It used multiple military invasions to support a war in eastern Ukraine, which led to international sanctions and a financial crisis in Russia. In order to aid his friend Bashar al-Assad during the Syrian civil war, he also gave the order for a military intervention in Syria, which resulted in the establishment of long-term naval bases in the Eastern Mediterranean. He began a massive invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 during his fourth presidential term, which sparked worldwide outrage and resulted in more sanctions. He proclaimed a partial mobilization in September 2022 and took four Ukrainian oblasts into Russia by force. Due to his suspected involvement in unlawful kidnappings of children during the conflict, Putin was the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in March 2023.
