Putin is one of the longest-serving heads of state in Russia’s modern history and has played a central role in reshaping the country’s political, economic, and military landscape. Known for his strong leadership style, Putin has focused on stabilizing Russia after the tumultuous 1990s, strengthening the central government and reasserting Russia’s influence on the global stage.

Putin’s foreign policy emphasizes Russia’s sovereignty, security and an active role in global diplomacy. As a key leader within BRICS, he has worked to position Russia as a leading voice in promoting multilateralism, cooperation among emerging economies and advocating for the establishment of a more balanced global order. His leadership within BRICS focuses on deepening economic partnerships, enhancing trade and fostering closer ties between Russia and other member nations, especially in areas of technology, energy and defense.

Under Putin’s leadership, Russia has been actively engaged in BRICS initiatives, strengthening its economic ties with the other member countries and contributing to the bloc’s efforts in shaping global governance. His presidency continues to influence not only Russia’s domestic policies but also the direction of Russia’s involvement in international affairs, particularly within the context of BRICS.
