Vladimir Putin is the President of Russia. Before becoming President, he served in the KGB as an intelligence officer. He has been the President for a long time -- he keeps winning the Russian elections. People seem to be afraid of him around the world because he doesn’t seem to like many other countries. In Russia however, people love him. If you want, you can buy Putinka Vodka and PuTin canned goods. These things are really funny but also show how much propaganda there is about him. Vladimir Putin really enjoys working out and has a black belt in judo.
