Surely all those in their twenties now remember the touching moment when on New Year’s Eve the sick and tired president Boris Yeltsin announced that from now on he would not preside, but his “right hand” - Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The camera, which was in the hands of the reporter, plummeted down, and the audience saw a modest, short man who smiled with restraint and correctly answered questions. Many years passed, and the current president of Russia has proved that, in fact, it doesn’t matter how tall you are if you can effectively look down on those who have neither your mind nor managerial talent ... However, ordinary people the question of how tall Putin is is still worrying.
Political Growth
The funny thing: all the more or less outstanding personalities were either very tall or rather short. By the way, the growth of 175-185 centimeters is considered to be “normal”, that is, average, male growth, and if you look at the historical and political picture of the world, it emerges as follows:
- Peter the Great - 202 centimeters.
- Winston Churchill - 166 centimeters.
- Napoleon Bonaparte - 169 centimeters.
How tall is Putin? Miscellaneous was written on this subject. One of his growth seemed too small, especially in comparison with really tall people, while others believed that the Russian president had normal average growth. So who to believe? And how tall is Putin really?
Interest Ask
In fact, in view of what is happening in the world, and in particular in the neighboring fraternal country, few people are interested in the question of how tall Putin is. But the one who monitors all events exclusively through the Internet and television and who thinks that everything that is happening, is nothing more than a skillfully posed political thriller, may be concerned about various personal details. Everyone knows that Vladimir Vladimirovich is in perfect physical shape. Despite the fact that the president had already exchanged the seventh dozen, no one would have given him more than forty-five years. Putin himself only restrained smiles at all questions regarding how he manages to look so young and fresh, or restraintly jokes that he has found the so-called elixir of youth. But interest in his personality is only growing, and despite the fact that he has been "familiar" to us for quite some time, the question "how much Putin has grown" remains relevant.
How tall is the president?
Putin is really short - many people who spoke to him personally say that his height is about 169-171 centimeters. However, an excellent athletic physique, springy gait and a strong straight look more than compensate for this "drawback". And to American reporters asking a semi-ironic question: "How tall is Vladimir Putin?" - you should look back and look at your politicians: George W. Bush and Barack Obama are tall and stately. But it only says that they are tall and handsome, and nothing more. The truly outstanding person of high growth they had was only Abraham Lincoln. There is simply no political figure worthy of Putin in the West.
It looks funny who asks questions like: "Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich: height, weight?" Just as funny are those who look with interest at the powerful shoulders and athletic figure of Viktor Yanukovych. This is not the main thing now ... Not at all.
