Few politicians have cut through the internal and international scene as the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. In the first decades of the globalized world, born after the dissolution of the USSR and the end of the opposing blocs era, Putin was one of the most influential and globally recognized leaders. A symbol of power also built with the help of the massive State propaganda machine. Despite his political career has alternated great successes with inability to reform and innovate, excellent tactical skills and gaps in strategic thinking, international openings and unilateral and assertive actions, Putin has established itself as a necessary and indispensable reference point both at home and abroad.

Putin reached power in 1999 and has ruled Russia continuously for over 20 years. He alternated the 4 presidential mandates with a brief period as “Richelieu” Prime Minister during Medvedev presidency. This very long political season, which makes the current President the longest-serving national leader after the Tsar and even more than Joseph Stalin, appears destined to extend theoretically until 2036, when Putin will be over 80 years old. In fact, on March 16, the Russian Constitutional Court positively evaluated the draft of constitutional reform that, among other things, will allow the Kremlin main resident to reapply for presidency and compete for two more terms.
