Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (/ˈpuːtɪn/; Russian:Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин;IPA:[vlɐˈdʲimʲɪr vlɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪtɕ ˈputʲɪn], born 7 October 1952) has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012, succeeding Dmitry Medvedev. Putin previously served as President from 2000 to 2008, and as Prime Minister from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. During his last term as Prime Minister, he was also the chairman of United Russia, the ruling party.
For 16 years, Putin was an officer in the KGB, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel before he retired to enter politics in his native Saint Petersburg in 1991. He moved to Moscow in 1996 and joined President Boris Yeltsin's administration where he rose quickly, becoming Acting President on 31 December 1999 when Yeltsin unexpectedly resigned. Putin easily won the subsequent 2000 presidential election and was reelected in 2004. Because of constitutionally mandated term limits, Putin was ineligible to run for a third consecutive presidential term in 2008. Dmitry Medvedev won the 2008 presidential election and appointed Putin as Prime Minister, beginning a period of so-called "tandemocracy". In September 2011, following a change in the law extending the presidential term from four years to six, Putin announced that he would seek a third, non-consecutive term as President in the 2012 presidential election, an announcement which led to large-scale protests in many Russian cities. In March 2012, he won the election, which was criticized for procedural irregularities, and is serving a six-year term.
"Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain."
"We discussed this very important issue yesterday over a beer."
"Russia needs a strong state power and must have it. But I am not calling for totalitarianism."
"History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior."
"Russia is a part of European culture. Therefore, it is with difficulty that I imagine NATO as an enemy."
"Russia will not soon become, if it ever becomes, a second copy of the United States or England - where liberal value have deep historic roots."
"It is bad that such bandit raids are still possible here (in Russia), ... It's a great tragedy that we are sustaining losses among law enforcement officers and peaceful civilians."
"... They began in a criminal way to take over our economy, not just on the borders but in the depths of Russia."
"If the current tendency prevails, the survival of the nation will be under threat,"
"Any attention to them (terrorists) on the part of the media, any double-standard interpretation of their motives and results of their activity means nothing but a political and administrative support of terrorist acts,"
"I believe the U.S. already understands and will understand more and more that only a strong Russia will respond to the genuine interests of the United States."

Russian President Vladimir Putin would prefer if Kamala Harris won the US election
Russian President Vladimir Putin has weighed in on the US Presidential election saying he would prefer it if Kamala Harris were to win.
The comments come one day after the Justice Department charged two Russian media executives with running a money laundering scheme to influence social media commentators.
In the 2024 election, the Democrats and the Republicans are giving unprecedented levels of access to social media influence to help their campaign; this means there are more opportunities for bad actors to take advantage than ever before.
