He even was one when he didn‘t run for office. Hell most people don‘t even remember the name of Russia‘s other „President“ they had for 5 years. I for sure don‘t.
I wouldn’t count the part where he was acting president instead of Yeltsin, but yeah, since 2008 he’s stopped being sneaky about wanting to be a dictator.
when do you get to call a dictator a dictator? when he stops with the pretend elections?
I don’t think you have to wait.

I think everyone knows the name, he’s kinda (in) famous lately with all the talk about nuking Europe and stuff. It’s Medvedev.
When they decide they should be the president until they die and make it legal. Putin has reached that milestone a while ago.
