"Heroes are not born, they become." Be the hero - is to become those who will notice and learn to respect other people. The hero can be anyone, because our daily life presents us with many situations. Everyone has a chance to show themselves, but not everyone uses this chance. Therefore, the characters are not so much as we would like. The hero of our time, what is it? To whom in our time should be equal? In my opinion, the "hero of our time" - is Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. He is truly a great man. He is a man of words and deeds. He does not speak empty and superfluous words. His performances wants to listen. Sometimes it seems that he is the captain of the grand ship, which is leading the country into a great, bright future. Not to recall the phrase of Norman Stone, British historian of Bilkent University "V. Putin managed to pull out Russia from the historical trend, which in its continuation could lead to the disintegration of Russia as a state. " Not without reason in the list of Time «100 most influential people in the world," Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is ranked 2nd. In my opinion, Putin should only be in the first place. He competently and adequately presents itself in the political arena, Vladimir Vladimirovich. Not afraid to defend the country's interests. He is not afraid to defend the rights of citizens of the Russian state. Once abroad, the citizen can count on the support of his country in the face of Putin. This happened with pilots to make an emergency landing in Tajikistan. He has not left the people without support, when in 2010 they lost their homes in a fire. The government led by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has supported people in such a difficult time, it has provided them with material assistance, it helped build a new home. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and the party "United Russia" applied great efforts for the development of new technologies. Under their leadership, there is the construction of institutes, universities, hospitals, which, in turn, is equipped with the latest equipment, and, in my opinion, in the future they will not yield to EU and may even be superior to them.
