He was prime minister from 2008 to 2012 while constitutionally unable to hold the actual office of President. However, he exercised de facto executive power through his designate, Dmitry Medvedev, who was president in his place. Medvedev became prime minister in 2012 when Putin could again legally serve as president (the two having essentially swapped positions).
Putin was acting president from December 31, 1999 to May 7, 2000.
He was elected president in 2000 and reelected in 2004, serving until May 7, 2008.
He was elected president in 2012, beginning a four year term on May 7, 2012.

As of now, Vladimir Putin is considered Russia's most powerful leader, serving as both President and previously as Prime Minister. His long-standing influence over Russian politics, security, and foreign policy has solidified his position as the central figure in the country's governance. While Russia does not have a king or chancellor, Putin's role as President gives him significant authority and control over the state apparatus.
