Credited from: BBC

  • Boris Yeltsin's resignation on December 31, 1999, paved the way for Vladimir Putin to become acting president, presenting a new political face for Russia.
  • Putin's popularity grew due to his firm stance on Chechnya and his promise to restore stability, securing almost 53% of the vote in the March 2000 elections.
  • Growing up in a troubled environment in Leningrad, Putin learned resilience and determination, influenced by a strict but loving family.
  • His aspiration to become a KGB agent guided his career path, leading him to secure significant political positions prior to his presidency.
  • Having been in power for over 25 years, Putin stands as Russia's longest-serving leader since Stalin, with little opposition remaining to challenge his authority.
