- From Soviet spy to the highest elected office in Russia, Vladimir Putin has now served as President of Russia for 14 years - and by all accounts he’s about to make that 20.

During Vladimir Putin’s time in power, he’s cracked down on political opposition, annexed parts of Ukraine, and overseen Russia’s increased involvement in global affairs.
So what can we look forward to in Vladimir Putin’s likely fourth term?
We should be on the lookout for Vladimir Putin’s goal of broadening Russian influence around the world - while news of Russian interference in the U.S. elections has dominated American media, experts say we should pay attention to what Russia is doing politically in Venezuela and Libya, as well as the Middle East and Europe. Vladimir Putin still wants Russia to rival the U.S. as a superpower, and he’s stepping in where the Trump administration is stepping out. This is sure to have an significant impact on the world.
BUT how did someone once considered to be too impulsive to be a KGB officer rise through the ranks to become one of Russia’s most consequential leaders in modern history?
Join Versha as she takes a closer look at Vladimir Putin’s rise to power and what his ambitions are for Russia.

Hey everyone, Versha here! Who are some other world leaders you'd like us to profile, and why? Let us know! Also - we're watching what's happening in Russia today, let me know if you have any thoughts on that! There are already reports of ballot stuffing at the polls.
Versha Sharma How about the rise of China's President Xi Jinping?
Joko widodo
Versha Sharma could you please do a video on the Nepalese royal family and the country’s transition to democracy. Thank you 🙏
Do Duterte because he's a man of action.
Versha Sharma please do Hun Sen
could Daniel Craig be cast in a Putin biography movie playing as Putin...
Lmao he's a secret agent sooo😂
Matthias Schoenaerts would be better.
Good Eye Amirul
Nope Andy Garcia..Look carefully at him
Vice versa 🤣
This is what you call James Bond becomes the President.
Regardless of your political opinion, you gotta respect him, he really is what Russia needs
No, I myself am Russian and I don't want any of that, I don't think anybody wants that, and that has nothing to do with what I said. I said nothing about what Russians wants, I don't claim to know the desires of every Russian. They are different individuals with different needs. It's moronic to suggest otherwise. I simply stated that Putin is what Russia needs, a strong leader who makes tough choices for the better of his country and it's people. Since he came to power he has improved the general living standards in Russia on many levels. Read the comment before you answer. Even if you think Russia is poor and backwards, it certainly wasn't Putin who made it that way. Russia was in fact far worse off before Putin came to power.
Vologda Mapping your country is over 700 years old and you people still create a stable democracy where the presidential candidates don't try to kill each other. Remind me again what happened to Boris Nemstov and many of Putin's other critics?
Your grammar is so weird that I don't even understand your line of reasoning. Russia certainly has problems with corruptions for example. I never said otherwise. That wasn't what I was talking about. I simply said that over all, Putin has improved Russia.
Yaeh Russia really need a dictator who isolate the country from International Community, when letting the country in ruins with no future (because of a rent economy). As if Russia never knew something else than despotism
I disagree, but I respect your opinion
Some real facts and a pack of lies.
Putin = army tank
Trump = Ford mastang at best.
Amurikans and Trump are so scared of Putin for some reason lol
In what world do you live in and is your IQ that low that you jump to such ridiculous statements.
I compared trump to putin and said Amurikans are scared of putin and from that you say I hate Amurikans and want to nuke them? Oh you're one dumb individual you really are.
Your profile picture is of a British flag so why are you so butt hurt over a trump comment. Absolute moron
As a man who was born in Russia, I want to apologize to all western countries who suffered from Russia's actions and/or agression, not all russians are zombies who are incapable of thinking critically. It's obvious that Putin's regime won't last long, I hope in the future our nations could become friends again. Peace✌
Samurai Jack nope, just saying what I actually think.
Эй, Ахеджакова, перезалогинься! :)))

Michael Dev Definitely buddy. Scum always get Karma back at them. Keep the faith. Love Liverpool, UK.
Is Putin cross-eyed or Down's. Can't decide...
Young Putin looks like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone
"2nd longest serving leader in Russian history "
Brezhnev might want to have a word with you
He wasn’t a leader of Russia, he was leader of Soviet Union
Sufi Muslim Lion so was Stalin.
@@sufimuslimlion4114 Soviet Union = russia
Brezhnev Ruled for 18 years. Putin is currently in his 21st year. Stalin ruled for 23 years.

I think we should be more worried about China
China:You should look out for Japan they are arming for a new imperialistic war
"They are not the ones invaded other countries" USA has and are making more invasions than any other country, has lost every war.
What has China done to make you worried? Invasions? Military bases stationed in other countries? China so far has only been making money and economy. It’s military is only for regional dominance not global like America. You should be more worried about America invading another country. It is more likely than China invading Japan. Too much Western biased news :/
Communist dogge I think Russia should worry more about China.
Killzone Slayer china is recolonizing africa.
Putin is a hero for Russia. This is true, i'm not kidding.
Lol what are you talking about? life quality in Russia is at African level, economy is in stagnation. All opposition is banned from elections at all levels, it's almost impossible even to be elected in city parlament if you are not a member of putin's party or one of fake opposition parties. Corruption level is terrible.
It's hard to say for me, but Russia now is a shithole 3'rd world country like Nigeria. And reading comments like this from western people is painful.
118 western spies disliked this video
Slavs too
Well Democrats.
Jotaro Kujo this comment is underrated.
The best president in the world.
Da
No.
Yup
why not? he's the best..russia is one of the most powerful country now, how can u not agree
You can't kill Putin without asking him
Put in. In where?
Vladimir was PUT IN russia o.o
I slam. you
It was supposed to be input. But we all know Russian language speaks backwards...
Lol
*GULAG*
I love Vladimir Putin he's very gentle man and nice too keeping he's people safe very generous man God bless him and blessed Russian.
@Vladimir Putin you the real MVP
I support global balance. That's why I want to see russia succeed. Militarily they are powerful comparing to U.S. Economically they are far behind. Influencially they are not their yet. So I support russia all the way
Russia is no where close to America militarily. America's military is insane.
In terms of economic, China is the biggest adversary of the US
@@blandcircle4402 ya... 10 years ago not now..
@@Zuk789 you realize he commented that 2 years ago right? And he meant that usa is insane because of their economy, so usa has a huge advantage over Russia, that is why Russia is not advancing the same rate as usa
He is the man who balances the world &. Believe me we need some balance in this world.
Great, I just don't like my country paying the price it does for such 'balance' (aka one man's ambitions). Would you?
Anton Sherstiuk you r right brother, I was not talking in context of violance.
Calling Thanos
Yes balance and a nuclear war that will end humanity once and for all
Ashutosh Mishra we can’t have Russia take away America’s power! Russia is evil! And I especially don’t want war with Russia but if it means protecting America and the West then bring it on!
A TRUE HERO IS WHAT I CAN ONLY SAY”
Putin is the best President i ever seen😐
Long live Russia!!!
That's putin for you , don't mess with russia 😎
James Gallagher Why you (Britain) think that you are great enough to compete with whole world. Your time was gone in 19th and 20th centuries. This is time for Asia. And future belongs to us, remember that.
Akshil Patel lmao you are as nationalistic
Alipt Shrivastava and don’t mess with the United States!🇺🇸
superstorm thunder well I have no problem with USA we have good relations with them .
take a bath with bar of a soap and then spray some western made deodrant on yourself before boarding on a plane to America.
I like Putin as a leader, say what you want but in my eyes, he's the strong independent leader that don't need no party Russia needs!
Why you say this if you don't know what is happening in Russia?
“In fact : the word western today is often considered a dirty word in russian politics”
“In fact : earth is huge chocolate cube in a interplanetary game console we call tree”
Facts of the day 😂
Why is Stalin called dictator and not Churchill ??
Our Indian soldiers fought the war for the british empire, the war which wasn't even ours. Hundred of thousands of our people died for the empire and what we got in return ?? Churchill starved millions of our people to death and when one of his officer told him about the horrific situation he famously said "Indians can breed like rabbit's" .
He wasn't 100% a "good guy", but he wasn't a dictator. He did horrible things, but he was a key player in defeating Hitler
Andrew Lentner what are you talking about. America saved Britain
Rhys P your wrong Churchill was not a disgusting dictator he was a hero. He was elected into power not seized power
And they can. Just look at them
How about Xi of China and Abe of Japan?
Putin the Great
*Putin is just too kool for Americans*
Hakuna Matata we americans dont need a permanent boss, you can have him.
Andreana Calhoun at least be happy you have Trump, he was your best bet. Both of your nominees weren’t the best, but let me state again, Trump was better. Hillary was just going to be elected for being a women and the media making Donald trump seem evil. Seems like you even have been brainwashed by the media. :(
Hakuna Matata Nah, I respect Putin, I respect his accomplishments, and I respect his capabilities.
A. C. Same here
Lol, best comment
Can you please profile the Polish leader Andrzej Duds.
(BTW love your Vids)
You guys forgot to shade Kaliningrad in blue as part of Russia.
Teutonic Knight Kaliningrad (ehemals Königsberg) ist russisch . Recherchiere doch mal und melde dich dann bitte wieder.
Teutonic Knight *War* . Herzlichen Glückwunsch ihr Nichtskönner von Schrumpfgermanen
He deserves what he is today
build toilets
Haha I am from Moscow and here you're showing a famous shopping mall for kids while talking about FSB, while the FSB building is a different building at the same square :-D funny )))
All normal ppl all around the world loves putin and russia. The more western media manipulates that fact more ppl will love him. You cannot stop the truth! Congrats to all Russian nation and to best president in the world Mr. Putin. All you russia haters can cry. Greeting from Europe. We stand strong with our Russian brothers and sisters!
@Mullerornis You should re-think are you really free my friend...
@Mullerornis You speaking about Trump and US?
No humain rights in US, regime is tolerating abuse of basic himan rights on rase and social level of its own citizents, regime is attacking other sovereign nations, regime that together with UK Cambridge Analitica rigs its own electons?? Who is hypocrite here?
Love how you minorize American war crimes and crimes against its own society by projecting it all to Russia. Just count how many times US went to war and compare it to Russia my friend. I know the truth is hard.
One time You will wake up, becuase rest of the world alredy did... US lost all its masks...
And where have I defended Russian crimes? lol
Between 2 evils I will always choose Russia...
See you can love that is the answer!
Does it matter how long he served as long as he's changing his country for better? The Russians were launching stocks untill Mr Putin came in and giving his fellow citizens hopes and teaching them about national development and value. Vast break through in Russian technology industry and so on. Long live the great Man!
Narendra modi from india
hugger.
guy simpson what you mean??
thats only interesting for indians
I'm from Israel and i would also like to hear more about Modi.
Modi is mass murderer.
young Putin reminds me of that famous Danish actor
The rise of Xi Jinping would be interesting
The speaker was very eloquent
Georgia🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
As a country America is the GOAT but Putin as a individual is the GOAT.
Russia needs Putin, world needs Putin
I as a Russian have some concerns about my country. If you are a foreigner can you tell me if you believe that Russia is a Power. I don't my country has any influence on the world. What do you guys think ?
One of the best leaders in the World .
I think a nation is as powerful as how effective its foreign policy is .🎯
Well said.
We support Russia and Putin.
From India
Teutonic Knight. Am not talking about his government and corruption levels in his country, am saying after fall of Soviet union no power ful leader for Russia, but wen Putin became president and prime minister, Putin increases the Russia image and power in world, in corruption level Russia stands 119 and 88 billionaires are there in Russia.more numerous natural resources are there.
From our country side, we are maintaining good relationship with Russia mainly on military and industrial sectors.
Russia helped our during the indo-pak war(kargil). So always we support Russia, for their development and relationship with them
K Raghavendra agreed..Love Putin from India.
Teutonic Knight There was a deal btw our Orthodox brother and Indian Hindus..And always support Russia till last breath no one cares who rules it,we care for back great USSR days. Jai Hind.
build toilets first
These videos would feel a lot more objective if they didn’t have such dramatic music playing. It’s kinda distracting
Can you please cover the same topic for Erdogan?
You are great, please do something about Serbian President Alexander Vucic ...
Western propaganda, fiddle music attempts to make it sound dramatic...
😂
That kool-aid must taste sweet, huh?
Its started good, but at the end comes the propoganda. So dislike
Putin 2018
Most powerful man in the world
jeez i hope that someday i move from russia
its sucks live in here
Иди , я не против )
pchoo go home to Israel.
Хватит ныть, собирай манатки и вали, воздух без таких как ты только чище станет :)))
we hope that too. we don't need you here. get out clown
pchoo was never heard from again.
Im i the only one that got the chills from the music?
The most capable politician and statesmen on the beginning of 21st century
I think i'm starting to understand why "Western" is a dirty word. There has been plenty of dirty things happening in the West since this video appeared.
Very interesting quick bio, I liked it.
Putin is trying to get as much influence around the world as he could. But he forgot about us russians. For the past few years we became more poorer because of sanctions and enormous military budget
Dude take it like a real Russian plez, you people suffer in harsh winter for centuries already, what a few more years, or even a few more decades gonna do?
It is not about cold winters. Winters are inevitable and not bother us at all. But we can change our government for good and I just don’t understand why people don’t want changes
Russia is prideful country, no other country had suffered like Russia during the last century, so it understandable people don't want change.
and this is why we vote vote him)
BogdanS169 Enormous military budget that you need anyway for the largest country in the world. And the fact that he wants more influence just speaks good. Mainly because there are a lot of countries that want Russia out of the political scene for good.
That man is 65 but he looks 40. Definitely a vampire
Nah, just in good shape because he knew how to look after himself. Unlike most 500 pound blobs of disgusting protoplasm, lumbering through American shopping malls STUFFING THEIR PIEHOLES and collecting stuff. Mostly junk.... food. Oh and, Trump is 71 and doesn't look like 46... he looks 71 or older. Imagine what he'll look like at the end of two terms if he gets next one... he'll likely look like 85 at 78. President takes a big toll.. Look at Obama when he first won and 8 years later, and old man. But again, Putin will not escape... by the time he's 78... he'll truly look older and will lose the younger look. Like me LOL... I'm same age as Putin and probably look every bit of it. Had a rough life... /shrug.
So what you're saying is that Obama and Trump aren't vampires?
Like Santa Claus, Vampires are a myth... they don't exist. That answer your silly question?
You seem pretty defensive about the existence of vampires, seems suspicious...
But what size shoe does he wear???
Putin is one of my favorite leader
build toilets
IndianTai get a life
He is the best president ever
Puttin is a good guy
WHY DO RUSSIANS THINK THEIR GOVERNMENT IS INNOCENT LMAO
Putin best president !
greetings from Slovakia
I wonder when he is going to begin being called a dictator.
4 joker rule in the world
Russia-putin

There's no election that is not rigged.
A non rigged election is not an election.
Vaunomax he didn’t win the popular vote though
U forgot Modi and Shinzo Abe
modi-India
The average pension in Russia is 250$ a month, the average income is about 500$ a month. Food, electronic devices, cars, gasoline cost the same as in the US. I wonder why Russian citizens vote for Putin if they live in poverty by modern standards.
I am from Russia. Your journalists are all the time. All we have is good and we love Putin
We don't know what Russia wants, but I guess they are defending their interests. (C) Winston Churchill
Abkhazia and south ossetia are independent countries...
Command_Unit Abkhazia and South Osetia is G E O R G I A 🇬🇪
Thelionking 07 you may consider them but they are still inependant
Abkhazia and South Ossetia belong to Georgia 🇬🇪
fabioshire97 belong is a very different think than owned
Well by definition they are not countries if they are not recognized
Coolest president ever. He fights bears
Thank God for Putin!
Do you guys have a podcast channel?
I’m so sorry Russian people you have not choice 😥😥😥😥😩
Teutonic Knight yea you are right is why they don’t care, what can they do? nothing 😩😥
We American don't have a choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Tommy157 no because Putin was there!
Teutonic Knight yes you are so lucky, Austria is one of the best countries in Europe, and so beautiful !👍❤️
Ultra Instinct Uran and a “fake election” 😩
Bravo Mr. Putin. A lot of people in the West hold you in great esteem.
Putin is the best.

You look so beautiful 😆
Long live Russia. Love and support to my Russian Brothers from India
How powerful is Romania??
Wrong! Russian troops went into South Ossetia and Abkhazia to remove Georgian troops that had invaded the two breakaway regions (which declared their independence from Georgia in the 1990s and were ruled by their own form of governance).
If you think it’s ok for Georgia to do that because the two republics weren’t recognised by the UN then you must all agree that if Serbian troops invade Kosovo then it’s ok because Kosovo hasn’t been recognised by the UN only by NATO.
Either you didn’t do enough research or you are trying to mislead people.
Are you Indian
I love how everyone brings up that the fall of the Soviet Union shaped putin's character. I think if the south ever seceded from the north in the US, it would shape a lot of American characters too. Christ.
Vox also did a wonderful video about the rise of Putin, so go check it out
thx u versha………...very nice...………..plz include imp personalities of world organizations too...…….such as un....n its many depts...….economic forum heads etc...………..!!!11
Putin For life
please make a video explaining why having a port is so important to a country?
Trade bro...
American propaganda
Funny how only American propaganda that exists are those cartoons made by Disney against Axis during WW2 or against Soviets in Cold war.
Putin is the only propaganda master here.
Before you comment "fat americanski" no I am not american. In fact I dont like americans that much but I can see what Putin is doing to Russia and he will crash its economy if he is seriously going to try beat USA with this "who got biggest nukes" competition
One day I would like to see reasonable and good ruler in Russia so my country wouldnt have to be in constant fear of invasion.
Ahh yes, how dare they use facts to prove a point
No content, no liked videos. Suspicious.
LMAO said the Russian bot, can you disprove any of the points in the video?
You keep pointing out his kgb background. where did they get all this information? oh because they made it up. All psychological warfare.
No one question background of politicians in the west.
I just want to say that your channel gives knowledge at its best and i have recommended this to others too.Also, very well explanation about Russian leader Putin.From being an Indian I want to see Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru too on this channel as beside some failures, he was a great political leader who shaped Indian development at its best.please Nehru please
lol he didn't go into Georgia to annex territory.
Teutonic Knight Bitte informiere dich doch bevor du kommentierst :)
Teutonic Knight | He didn't. He went to protect the local minorities that asked for help. If he went to annex more territory, he would've done it.
Besides, it was Medvedev who was president at the time. Not Putin.
Not gonna lie, that ending point...On how it’s changing and going to change the world scared the f outta me
As nefarious as he may be, there is one difference between Putin and Trump. We can be fairly certain Putin loves his country.
Amen
Don't even compare.. trumpy wouldn't known leadership if it slapped him on the face
God bless Putin and God bless Russia 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Long live Putin, hail mother Russia. Love from India
Can you do a video on South Africa's racist attitude against whites? It's a serious problem, but often gets ignored.
Always love putin ❤️
Pretty sure he is why "duck face" is common terminology lol
No one messes with Putin. NO ONE. Biden, are you listening?
Liked it. Ir. Soekarno please, former president of Indonesia.
hey america....is some thing burning...huh?
