'''Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin''' (''Russian'': Владимир Владимирович Путин) is the current [[President]] of the [[Russian Federation]]. He succeeded [[Boris Yeltsin]] in 2000 through a democratic election getting a significant majority of the votes. He is mainly backed by the '[[United Russia]]' party which holds a majority in the Russian parliament, known as the ''Duma''. The Party usually reflects the political views of Putin, which are that of moderate conservatism and nationalism. The next major political party in Russia is the '[[Communist Party]]' (which Putin is antagonistic towards) which still holds influence but the '[[Bolshevik]]' Party (being the old Communist Party) is banned.
