Today, August 9th, is the 15th anniversary of the day Vladimir Putin took over the reigns of the Russian Federation. He became known to Russia for the first time back in 1999, when Boris Yeltsin appointed him to be his successor. The current Russian president had previously been head of the FSB [Federal Security Service], but regular Russians knew nothing about him. However, having ended up on top of the political Olympus 15 years ago, Vladimir Putin has never left it. Meanwhile, Putin’s ratings continually grow by the hour. Starting in 1999, he managed to become the president of Russia twice and twice he occupied the post of Prime Minister. It is noteworthy that all 15 years of his rule are marred by a series of terrorist acts and industrial and aviation catastrophes. It was during Putin’s reign that the term “black August” came to be.
