Originally a KGB agent, Vladimir Putin was the 2nd President of Russia and is now the Prime Minister of Russia. He has had a long-standing cult of personality in Russia, and just like Stalin or Lenin, has garnered fame and status as a badass worldwide.
Status in Russia
As demonstrated by the following graph, Putin’s approval ratings (blue) have stayed consistently at least above 60%, but have even climbed to nearly 90% in Russia, while disapproval has meanwhile fallen.
Putin has come to be universally recognized, whether due to his KGB background, recent history of dominating Russia’s political sphere with an iron fist, or his photo ops (as shown below), to be one of (if not the) the world’s biggest political badasses.

The Internet has notably furthered this view, perpetuating him in threads, convos, and image macros as either incredibly masculine, sneaky and uncaring towards other life, or otherwise Alpha as Fuck.
Putin has his own catergory on PunditKitchen.com called Vladurday, reminiscent of Caturday, in which his badassery is constantly celebrated with simple image macros.
Encyclopedia Dramatica has its own entry for Putin, extensive in image macros and descriptions of his manly exploits.
As well, memegenerator has 15 separate Putin-related macros, including Advice Putin.
Chan threads relating to Putin are very common, particularly when related to politics or international culture.
