A Tsar is born - man in control of a vast country Russia, who reads Bible, sends no email so far, Russian President Vladimir Putin is ‘Time’s Person of the Year 2007′.

What is Time’s Person of the Year about?

‘TIME’s Person of the Year is a clear-eyed recognition of the world as it is and of the most powerful individuals and forces shaping that world—for better or for worse.’

Mr. Vladimir Putin presents one of the most interesting and contrasting characters and faces  today.

Putin has said that next spring, at the end of his second term as President, he will assume the nominally lesser role of Prime Minister. In fact, having nominated his loyal former chief of staff (and current Deputy Prime Minister) Dmitri Medvedev to succeed him as President, Putin will surely remain the supreme leader, master of Russia’s destiny, which will allow him to complete the job he started. In his eight years as President, he has guided his nation through a remarkable transformation.

Time says, Putin grudgingly reveals a few personal details between intermittent bites of food: He relaxes, he says, by listening to classical composers like Brahms, Mozart, Tchaikovsky. His favorite Beatles song is Yesterday. He has never sent an e-mail in his life. And while he grew up in an officially atheist country, he is a believer and often reads from a Bible that he keeps on his state plane. He is impatient to the point of rudeness with small talk, and he is in complete control of his own message.

Vladimir Putin was voted the 5th sexiest politician by a Japanese poll.
