While Moscow anxiously waits for 9 May – the arbitrarily chosen anniversary of the Soviet victory in “the Great Patriotic War,” as the Second World War is known in Russia – few will notice that 7 May is a more personal occasion for Vladimir Putin. He was inaugurated as President of the Russian Federation on 7 May 2000, served until 7 May 2008, and returned to the presidency on 7 May 2012. This year, 7 May marks the twenty-fifth year of his rule – the silver anniversary of his marriage to Russia.
