The journey from 1975 to 2016 was very very difficult that too when Russia's new economy was in shambles. But he negotiated all curves very nicely ,intelligently and with success. He took the rein's of of the country at very critical juncture , which was left , after break up of USSR .
He has got courage to deal with any odd situation boldly.
After breakup of USSR , there were tremendous pressure from western world specially USA but he didn't buckle down whether it's arms control treaty or other international issues .International sanctions were forced on russia about two years backafter Crimea joined Russian Federation and war in Ukraine .Russian currency Ruble was put under pressure , and driven Russia into deepening recession, but surprisingly haven't hurt Putin at all .In October, he bombed ISIS forces in Syria and then met face-to-face with President Assad without caring Obama and practically defeating Obama policy in Syria .
During his third term as President, Vladimir Putin has begun to project himself as a conservative, a Russian conservative .He believes in Russia's energy policies and military power to tackle western power with his new found allies China .He plays healthy international politics .
The expression “balance of power” is Putin’s version of conservatism that will define the Russian politics during third and presumably fourth Presidential terms. He is moving ahed to make Russia a formidable Power.
He is fantastic in making strategic freindship of his choice like :
TURKEY : Turkey is a very important country situated in between Black Sea and Mediterranean sea on silk route .It is Bosporus country separating Asia and Europe. Turkey is a strong ally of NATO playing important role in Syrian crisis . It even shot down Russian sukhoi fighter plane and became enemy of Russia. But now become a good friend of Russia and Putin.
PHILIPPINES : A very important country in South China Sea and once ally of USA has become very good friend of Russia ad Putin
Hope Russia will flourish further and achieve greater heights under the leadership of Vladimir Putin .
