00:12Vladimir Putin, the son of Vladimir Spyridon Ivanovich Putin, who was a hunter for a while, was born as the child of Vladimir Spyridonovich Putin and Maria Ivanova-Shelemova, in St. Petersburg, the city of St. Petersburg, which is called Leningrad, during the Soviet Socialist Republic period in October 7, 1952.
00:38Putin, who graduated from the Department of Law at the State University of Leningrad in 1975, did his master's degree in economics.
00:50After his graduation, Putin, who started working in the KGB, the security service of the Soviet Union, served in Germany for a while.
01:05After returning to Leningrad, he took office in the university administration.
01:11While he was here, he prepared a thesis entitled The Most Favorite Nation Trading Principle in International Law and joined the Soviet Union Communist Party.
01:26In August 1991, he continued to be a member of this party until it was closed.
01:34In 1990, Putin, who was an advisor to the City Council of Leningrad, became the chairman of the Municipal Chief Assistant and the Municipal Council of Foreign Relations in 1991-1992.
01:51After his duties at various levels, Putin was appointed Chairman of the Presidency of the Kremlin Palace in 1996 and continued this position until 1997.
02:07In 1997-1998, he served as Chairman of the State Presidency and Chairman of the State Presidency Administration.
02:18In 1998-1999, he ran the Secretariat of the Russian Security Council, which was also called the Politburo of the New Russia after the Soviet Union.
02:36Between 9-16 August 1999, Putin started serving as prime minister assistant and deputy prime minister since 16 August.
02:51After President Boris Yeltsin resigned on 31 December 1999, this position was reinstated in his office until the election of the Presidency was held within 3 months under the Constitution.
03:08In the presidential elections held in Russia, more than 50 percent of the votes were collected and the President was elected in the first round.
03:17As of 7 May 2008, the new President Dmitry Medvedev took his place.
03:28On 4 March 2012, the President of Russia was elected for the third time with 63.6 percent of the votes.
03:36According to the official results of the presidential election held on Sunday, March 18, 2018, Putin won the election by about 77 percent of the votes.
03:49For the fourth time in six years, Putin's term as a candidate for the United Russian Party extended until 2024.
03:57Governments in the Presidency of Medvedev were also established by this party.
04:08However, there are significant political differences between Putin and Medvedev.
04:14While Medvedev did not show any interest in the Soviet period, Putin made speeches praising the Soviet period many times.
04:23Putin said that the disintegration of the Soviet Union is the greatest disaster of the 20th century.
04:31Putin, who tries to extend different political tendencies in his country, is generally not hostile to the West, but against the West.
04:42He is trying to bring Russia to a new level with post-Soviet and nationalist policies that give priority to Russia's interests.
04:50His goal is to regain Soviet power to Russia without a communist regime.
04:57For this reason, Putin, criticized by the communists, does not use the term liberal politics much and is exposed to the attack of the liberal sect because he started a war against the oligarchs.
05:11However, during his reign, economic development in the country has provided for the support of the people.
05:18Putin, who is accused of re-conquering the former Soviet republics in international politics, is actually trying to establish dominance in Eastern Ukraine, which is called the former Russia, where the Russians live intensely.
05:36Putin is a Christian Orthodox. While Putin's father was an atheist, his mother was a religious Christian who attended the Russian Orthodox Church.
05:50Although his mother did not have any icons in her house, despite the pressures of the Soviet period, she regularly went to church and secretly baptized Putin as a baby.
