Let’s know some interesting things about Putin
1. Paved his own way to become President by 2036
He is in power since 2000. He is the longest-serving leader after Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. In 2018 he was re-elected president for a six-year term.
Although President Putin’s term would have ended in 2024, he has cleared his way for Russia to remain in power until 2036 by signing a new law.
According to Russia’s constitution, no person can become president for more than two consecutive terms, but after the introduction of the new law, Putin can run for president again in 2024.
After signing the law, he will have two more terms of 6-6 years. So now he has a chance to remain President till 2036.
2. Many leaders of the world admire
Even though Putin may have become the glamor of many countries in the world now, there is a significant group of world leaders and influential political figures who have been praising Putin much before the war on Ukraine. Former US President Donald Trump had recently called Russian President Vladimir Putin a ‘genius’ and a peacemaker. Which was ridiculed by current President Joe Biden.
His fan club is global, spanning across Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, and Europe. Fox News’ most influential commentator Tucker Carlson has openly supported Putin during the current crisis in Ukraine.
Other prominent fans of Putin in Western Europe include Brexit supporter Nigel Farage and leader of Italy’s hard-right league and former deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini.
3. Became role models of leaders
When Putin first emerged as Russia’s leader in 1999–2000, he looked like a strong nationalist. Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel once said that Putin is trying to apply the techniques of the 19th century to a different era. Gradually, Putin became the model for a generation of leaders.
After Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani coined praises for him, saying “he makes a decision and he executes it quickly.” You call this a leader. At the same time, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban Putin has also made earlier statements that Putin has made his country great again.
4. Has also been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
It may seem contradictory that the man accused of invading Ukraine and causing havoc in Ukraine was the same Putin nominated for the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.
He was named by a Russian rights advocacy group for his role in stopping a US missile attack in Syria and in efforts to destroy Damascus’ chemical weapons.
5. Animal Rights Advocate
A softer side of Vladimir Putin’s personality is his love for animals. He has many pet dogs in his house. The Washington Post describes Vladimir Putin as ‘a famous animal lover’. He likes to be photographed with different animals.
They are said to help aid in the research of various animal species such as tigers, bears, dolphins and storks. He insists on making laws for better treatment of animals. The law on responsible animal behavior in Russia prohibits the carrying of pets inside malls and restaurants and the killing of stray animals. Here it is necessary to take proper care of the animals.
6. Passion for work became the reason for divorce
Vladimir Putin has paid a heavy price for all his achievements. In 2013, he got divorced from his wife Lyudmila. Both were married in 1983. The couple has two daughters, Maria and Katerina. She stayed with him since joining politics, but gradually Putin’s busyness pushed both of them away. After the divorce, Putin simply told the media at that time, “We don’t get to see each other much.” At the same time, Lyudmila said that Vladimir is busy with his work.
7. Putin keeps his personal life a secret
According to media reports, Putin is not a family man at all. His family has never been seen in public. His daughters were also rarely seen by anyone. On rare occasions he mentioned his daughters, but did not give their names. Foreign tabloids state that a former gymnastics champion who became an MP, the two have a relationship and have a son. Putin, however, denied these reports.
