details the life and career of the leaders have always been a subject of heightened interest of citizens.I was no exception and the Russian president: Internet is full of questions, opinions, arguments about how Putin came to power.Really, how?
History of the Russian president's official biography is well known, and yet something that we recall.On the eve of the new, 2000, in connection with the early retirement of the first president of Russia Boris Yeltsin, Putin, then head of the Russian government, is appointed acting head of state.As a result of the 2000 election, Putin - is the legitimate President of Russia, and in 2004 he was re-elected for a second term.In May 2008, the head of state is elected by Dmitry Medvedev, the former head of the Putin administration.In the presidential elections in 2012, Vladimir Putin wins again.The current title of chief of the Russian leader - the second and the fourth President of the Russian Federation.And to anyone who is interested in what year Putin came to power, to remember all three dates.
How to become presidents
Of course, the population is more interested in those data that do not relate to the official organ.Sometimes the question is formulated, even so: "Who brought Putin to power?" But before we talk about it, think about it: how are all the Heads of State?
If you take, for example, to a stable democracy, the United States, the struggle for leadership here is, in fact, between the two rival parties: Republicans and Democrats.The leader of the winning becomes US president.This competition is not so much the party programs, much of attitudes.Democrats are more concerned about individual rights and social support of the population, but this policy of flattery often leads to a weakening of state.Republicans increasingly statists, their programs usually do not differ in populism, and like it is not everything.Both parties are in the lead almost by turns;this turnover can be explained only by differences of civil sentiment, as well as new demands and needs in society.That is, in a democracy, it defeats the leader whose software installation most desirable and in demand by the people.
Back to our question: "How Putin came to power?" Probably part of his career, and the destination is not always lie on the surface, and they are not easy to explain.But the fact he was popularly elected president in 2000, speaks of the desire to have a population of just such a head of state.We must admit, the first Russian president, Boris Yeltsin, considerably weakened their country and society desired to a strong leader.
Some peculiarities of the Russian vote
desire to elect the better characteristic of any nation.However, in Russia and in other post-Soviet countries is an interesting feature: the electorate votes not only "for" how much "against."
What does it mean?Population, choosing one or another candidate, did not deceive themselves about him.Voters see the shortcomings of the elect, but what to do?Remaining after all even worse!

Why is there no real choice, why we have to choose from evils?This is another question.
about conversations and rumors
road that Putin raised up, the standard will not name.A boy from a simple family, a career KGB officer, but in 1991 won the first civil office, he is in less than 10 years, he has turned into the head of a vast empire.Naturally, this has generated a lot of rumors about the mechanisms that led him to the uppermost stage of Putin's patrons (including call and the late oligarch Boris Berezovsky).Trying to explain how Putin came to power, the BER (The concept of public security, political movement) and all begin to talk about the global conspiracy.How to treat these rumors?Just like any other - are not taken into account.
secret political cuisine (not only in Russia, in any country) ordinary mortals to comprehend is not fully given.Sometimes over the years some hearing and is confirmed, but most researchers have known biographies simply confused about the flow of contradictory information.But it is important to be aware of every step of the road to the presidency of Putin?Do not correct to judge the leaders of the state in what they do for their power?About
