About
Vladimir Putin, full named Vladimirovich Putin is a Russian politician and an Ex-officer of the Committee for state security (KGB) who has served from 2012 as a President of Russia. Served as the Prime Minister of Russian from 1999 to 2000 and again from his very first four-year term, 2008 to 2012. He has been a member of the United Russia party and the Unity party. Also is confederated with the People’s Front, a group of supporters that formed by himself to help enhance the public’s insights of United Russia in 2011. Putinism, that’s what his political ideology, policies and priorities are referred to a few times.
Vladimir Putin relentlessly continues to succour the powerful country for decades now with a subconscious of consistency. But currently, he appears to undergo the slug span in these tough times of pandemic. De-elevating the popularity ratings, postponement of a crucial vote on constitutional modifications. It would be too early for him to write his political obituary.
Early Life
Vladimir Putin was born in 1952 in a then-known place called Leningrad, now called St. Petersburg. In 1975, he began his career as an intelligence officer in the KGB, succeeding to graduate from Leningrad State University. Ensuing the disruption of the Soviet Union in 1991, he discontinued the job from KGB within the rank of colonel, consequently returned to Leningrad as a supporter of Anatoly Sobchak, a humanistic politician (1937-2000). On concluding to be elected as mayor of Leningrad (1991), He became first deputy mayor and head of external relations (1994). After Sobchak’s vanquish in 1996, Putin resigned and settled in Moscow.
He was appointed to be deputy head of management in Boris Yeltsin’s presidential administration, in 1998, in charge of the Kremlin’s associations with the regional governments. After a short span, Putin was appointed the head of the Federal Security, an arm of the former KGB, and the head of Yeltsin’s Security Council. In mid-1999, Yeltsin dismissed its prime minister Sergey Stepashin together with his cabinet, and Putin was advanced to attain the current job. December 1999, Yeltsin gave up his presidency, succeedingly appointing Putin as the provisional president until the officers were held in early 2000.
During his first tenure as president, the Russian economy grew for eight straight years, with GDP measured by purchasing power increasing by 72%, real incomes increased by a factor of 2.5, real wages more than tripled; unemployment and poverty more than halved and the Russians' self-assessed life satisfaction rose significantly. The growth was a result of a fivefold increase in the price of oil and gas which constitute the majority of Russian exports, recovery from the post-Communist depression and financial crises, a rise in foreign investment, and prudent economic and fiscal policies. Serving under Dmitry Medvedev from 2008 to 2012, he oversaw large scale military reform and police reform. In 2012, Putin sought a third term as president and won with almost 64% of the vote. Falling oil prices coupled with international sanctions imposed at the beginning of 2014 after Russia's annexation of Crimea and the War in Donbas led to GDP shrinking by 3.7% in 2015, though the Russian economy rebounded in 2016 with 0.3% GDP growth, and the recession officially ended. Development under Putin has included the construction of pipelines, the restoration of the satellite navigation system GLONASS, and the building of infrastructure for international events such as the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Putin received 76% of the vote in the 2018 election and was re-elected for a six-year term ending in 2024.
Road to Success
Putin seeks to position Russia as a non-dependent and vital global power. His foreign policy goals are clearly straightforward. He is aimed for a ruthless approach minding the conduction of any agenda. Visioning the world as a ferocious competitive field. He is ready to seek an advantage for his country, whether it is violating the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine, or dismantling devastation on the civilian population in Syria.
Today, the country Putin made, bends the knee to no one, including the United States. They credit him with recaptioning to make Russia great again after the ignominy in the 1990s. Putin surfaced as the converse of his predecessor. He was young, passionate and abstinent. Enjoying the most essential gift of his life, luck. Acquiring a good fortune to make past Boris Yeltsin. Eventually, elevating Russia’s economy from deep recession to adhered high growth. Putin became identified with Russia mounting its rightful place in the world.
Challenges
Putin has relished such a facile ride that contentment is a major issue. Deficit of accountability eases policy-making, but also leads to inadequate decisions. Causing the consequences of an increasingly disorderly and unpredictable world. Vladimir Putin relentlessly continues to succour the powerful country for decades now with a subconscious of consistency. But currently, he appears to undergo the slug span in these tough times of pandemic. De-elevating the popularity ratings, postponement of a crucial vote on constitutional modifications. It would be too early for him to write his political obituary.
Spring of this year was supposed to be a sequence of victory and make the nation receive record-breaking glory, organizing public events that confirm Putin’s power, and Russia’s pride. On April 22, 2020, the national vote was scheduled, for proposing changes to the Russian constitution. Then were big plans to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in WWII. The plans were replaced with something much more unassuming. The Russian economy was in despair especially before the pandemic got novelle.
Also, two ultra-nationalists, two communists, a socialite, a businessman and a liberal are Putin’s challenges. Two of them, Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Grigory Yavlinsky have competed with Putin in the past. None of the seven other candidates in the run with Putin has polled above 8% in pre-election surveys.
Failures
Living calibres had already been plunging for years, tugged below by western sanctions after the 2014 seizure of Crimea. Also, an oil price war with Saudi Arabia has been gradually futile. During the pandemic, the economy is now predicted to narrow down to 5% this year, with household disposable incomes seen decreasing by 3.8% according to the Economy Ministry figures.
Putin seems like a superintendent intriguer. Russia’s role infuriated many Americans, during the 2016 U.S election including the behaviour toward Russia by President Donald Trump. But at home, the vision is not being that way. Perfecting nearly two decades in power, the Russian president is under pressure. The people at the homeland are less impressed with his strutting on the intercontinental podium and is draining out the patience with the non-dynamic economy at home, uncontrolled corruption, rising poverty and omnipresent reprove of power, Russian opinion says.
Putin resides firmly in command, without an anticipated threat to his rule. Yet recent outturns now suggest a possible surmounting. A number of vanguards, at home and abroad, Putin has veneered embarrassing failures, and the population, undeceived, has lost trust in him, tending to exhibit restlessness more than enough to summon his authority.
