fuadmondeoThe Top Ten

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012, succeeding Dmitry Medvedev. He was also President from 2000-2008. I support Vladimir Putin, under whose watch the oligarchs are put in check (if not outright arrested), Russian army regains ability to project power on a global scale, quality of life in Russia is on the rise, new military technologies being developed, all national debt is paid-off (Russia's debt level is now 3-5 %), under Putin, Russian economy is not collapsing DESPITE coordinated economic sanctions, new developments in economy and space technologies, Russian population has started growing.
Definitely deserves to be in top 10! He transformed Russia form a degrading country on the brink of extinction to a world superpower again.
The only reason why Russia exists!
No way! He’s the worst president russia ever had, has and will ever have! He is one of the reasons world war 3 is starting and he is a selfish idiot
