After winning the Russian presidential election, Putin meets the "hard core" challenge. Chen Yurong, a researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, told China News Service.
In 2023, the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center conducted a survey among Russians over the age of 18. The most common comments given by respondents to Putin's image and political achievements were: calm, energetic, decisive and wise. In the first eight years of the 21st century, Russia's GDP grew by about 70% and its industry grew by 75%.
