Putin Is Time's Person of The Year
Source: Moscow Times
19 December 2007 – President Vladimir Putin was named Time magazine's person of the year on Wednesday, becoming the first Russian to win the title since Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev did it twice in the late 1980s.
"Putin has put his country back on the map," Time managing editor Richard Stengel wrote on the U.S. magazine's web site.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin was "really satisfied" with the title.
"It is very good news for us," Peskov told reporters in a conference call on Wednesday evening. "We treat it as an acknowledgement of the role that was played by President Putin in helping to pull Russia out of the economic and social troubles of the 1990s, and restoring national pride in this country."
But Stengel stressed that being chosen person of the year was "not an endorsement" and "not a popularity contest" and that Time chose individuals who had made the biggest impact on world events, "for better or for worse."
Previous winners have included Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II. In the past decade, U.S. President George W. Bush has won twice. Last year Time chose "You," saying that ordinary people control the Information Age.
In a profile accompanying its choice of Putin, Time noted that Russia's economy had grown an average of 7 percent yearly for the past half-decade and that Moscow had repaid a foreign debt of nearly $200 billion. But it also described Putin as "humorless" and highlighted his curtailment of democratic freedoms.
Comments: Since taking power of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin has brought Russia out of collapse, rebuilt the economy and propelled the country into prosperity. He has done what many western leaders thought was impossible. He has rebuilt much of the military and is flexing Russia military muscle in the Middle East, the Caspian Sea Basin, Africa, and the Far East. Vladimir Putin is set to relinquish power as President next year but there is speculation that he may retain some sort of leadership as Prime Minister after the changeover. Many of the Russia citizens would like to keep Mr. Putin in power because of the transformed economy and reforms he has introduced. We will have to see wait and see what Putin decides next March. For now, Mr. Putin is Time’s person of the year in 2007. He might still be around in 2008.
