As Putin had got a law degree in 1975, he joined the KGB, the security force of the former Soviet Union. Then he been working in the KGB for 15 years, not only in Russia, but also in Germany. In 1983 he got married Lyudmila Shkrebneva and got two daughters. However, he is divorced today.
For the first time he became a president of Russian Federation in 2000, then he left the position and became a prime minister in 2008. So, he had been re-elected again in 2012.
Many people believe that the President conducts a very competent foreign policy, trying to reduce some tension between Russia and other countries that arises due to various reasons, but the President's domestic policy is very weak. Unfortunately, the number of rich people and oligarchs as well as the poor is growing, and the economy is falling. However, the President as a head of Government periodically offers various solutions to help the population: hotlines, social packages, demographic programs, etc.
Владимир Владимирович Путин - российский государственный и политический деятель, исполняющий обязанности президента Российской Федерации, Верховный Главнокомандующий Вооруженными Силами Российской Федерации.
Он родился 1 октября 1952 года в Ленинграде в обычной семье рабочих. Он был единственным ребенком в семье. Они не были богаты и жили в коммунальной квартире с другими людьми.
Когда Путин получил юридическое образование в 1975 году, он вступил в ряды КГБ, силы безопасности бывшего Советского Союза. Затем он проработал в КГБ 15 лет не только в России, но и в Германии. В 1983 году женился на Людмиле Шкребневой, обзавелся двумя дочерями. Однако на сегодняшний день он в разводе.
Впервые он занял пост президента Российской Федерации в 2000 году, затем покинул эту должность и стал премьер-министром в 2008 году и был переизбран вновь в 2012.
Многие считают, что президент ведет очень грамотную внешнюю политику, пытаясь снизить некоторую напряженность между Россией и другими странами, которая возникает в силу разных причин, но внутренняя политика Президента очень слаба. К сожалению, число богатых людей и олигархов, как и бедных растет, а экономика падает. Однако Президент как глава правительства периодически предлагает различные решения для оказания населению: горячие линии, социальные пакеты, демографические программы и т. д
