Here are twelve (12) interesting facts about Russia: History, President, and Current leader:

1. Various leaders have ruled Russia throughout the years. It’s been ruled by both men and women, and many of its rulers have been absolute monarchs.
2. Vladimir Putin became president in 1999 after serving as prime minister for four years before his presidential election. He has since been reelected three times and is currently serving his fourth term as president of Russia.
3. The Russian Revolution was an event that occurred in 1917 when a group of workers overthrew the Tsarist government that had ruled over them for centuries. The revolution led to the creation of the Soviet Union—an alliance between Russia and other countries that were previously part of the Russian Empire but had become independent after the revolution occurred within their borders (such as Georgia). The Soviet Union lasted until 1991 when it again dissolved into several different nations (including Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan).
