A free public domain of Putin in 2024 was posted if possible you can find it and use it (it is posted by a russian person) Yousifali777 (talk) 14:01, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also found another one, posted by a Moldovan politician: [[File
Владимир Путин (06-03-2024).jpg]]. I think that this could be used as well
Yes this is the one but let’s wait for an admin to use it Yousifali777 (talk) 10:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why has Wikipedia not included Putin’s age - yes his date of birth is shown but why not his age in brackets as is usual 2A02:C7C:A81D:5000:D9B3:F7B4:611:B6D1 (talk) 18:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please change the tense of the section about the The 2020 Khabarovsk Krai protests to be past tense. The protests ended several years ago. See 2020–2021 Khabarovsk Krai protestsUhoj (talk) 12:38, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How is his name pronounced? I have heard it Pewtin or as Pooteen. Jokem (talk) 04:11, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Current pronunciation in the lead sounds correct to me (transliteration from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet is a bit challenging altogether, so I think keeping it in Cyrillic only might be easier). Ppt91talk 20:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per prosize, this article has a word count of over 18,000 words, exceeding guidelines set at WP:TOOBIG. Per review of the archives, this has been discussed before but many years ago. Can we review opportunities to trim or split the article into a more manageable size? Perhaps moving more info over to Political career of Vladimir Putin?

Not that I object, but an article about a major world leader of a nuclear-armed state leading a war against another nation who has a warrant out for his arrest should be expected to have a lengthier article than average. 331dot (talk) 09:20, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"chief of the Main Control Directorate of the Presidential Property Management Department (until June 1998)" – this is incorrect. Should be "chief of the Main Control Directorate of the Presidential Administration (until June 1998)"
He worked (as deputy) in Presidential Property Management Department and later as head of the Main Control Directorate of the Presidential Administration of Russia (these days, "Main" is dropped from the name), not the Main Control Directorate of the Presidential Property Management Department (which is still called "Main"). These are two different offices.
I posted once before, but to no avail. Loquens homo (talk) 12:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Loquens homo Would you mind providing a reliable source to support this translation and/or provide more details about these two offices? I'll be happy to make that edit, but we cannot do that without a source. Pavel Borodin's page also uses the same name. Ppt91talk 21:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to a detailed account in the Economist on 10 June 2023, Putin's life story until his late teens is completely falsified. The article was published on the occasion of the death of his mother on 31 May 2023, aged 97, who lived as a poor Russian peasant woman in Metechi, Georgia, where Putin was born and went to school. The article is based on research by two Western journalists from 2003 who have soon later been died by the KGB in „accidents“. -- The least that should be said here at Wiki is that there are doubts about Putin's CV. -- I can send the Economist article as a jpg file if required. If you are interested, please leave your address here. 2003:EA:F43:1811:B0E4:D76A:4DC7:2FB8 (talk) 16:47, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly insert/change the initial description at the top of the page to reflect that Vladimir Putin is a “genocidal tyrant dictator” between the description “politician” and “former intelligence officer”. 120.136.57.237 (talk) 07:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
