Vladimir Vladmirovich Putin has been the president of the Russian Federation since 2012, with a previous term from 2000 to 2008. President Putin's presidential term is expected to last until 2024.
In February 2022 in response to the invasion of Ukraine thousands of Russians demonstrants took the streets and squares of Russian cities. As the New York Times report:
“While many Russians credit Mr. Putin with lifting their country out of the economic hardship and instability of the 1990s, others are deeply uneasy about his leadership. And tough sanctions that affect everyday Russians, like potential technology embargoes that could separate Russians from their beloved next-generation phones, could diminish his support at home.”
Russia is the largest country and still maintains the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads in the world. Its internal instability can be a huge risk to global security.
