Putin said in November that he wouldn't remain Russia's president forever. Staying in office would be detrimental for the country, and I don't need this, he said at the time. Putin has been Russia's leader since he was first elected in 2000. He served two four-year terms, then retained power as prime minister before he was elected as president in 2012 to a six-year term.
Who is Vladimir Putin? Putin was elected President of the Russian Federation in 2000 and re-elected in 2004. In 2008, the new President Dmitry Medvedev appointed Putin as Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. Putin was re-elected as President for a third time in 2012. The Moscow Kremlin is the Russian equivalent to the White House in the United States, and it is home to a helipad built by Putin in 2013 to avoid Moscow traffic.
