I don't know many things about him

Putin, a former KGB official was picked from relative obscurity（无名的人）to be prime minister in 1999 by then-President Boris Yeltsin.

Putin, the son of a factory worker whose grandfather cooked for Soviet dictator（独裁者）Josef Stalin, had led Russia with persistence（坚定）, a sharp vision and a sense that he embodied（表现）the spirit of \"Mother Russia.\"

After meeting Putin for the first time in 2001, President George W. Bush said: \"I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward（直率）and trustworthy（可信任）.\"

He is now the president. It is quite possible that he will become the PM next year.
