Vladimir Putin-Most Influential Person

Time magazine has recently just issued out the 100 most influential in the world as of right now. They are not ranked dissapointingly. If i were asked who would i consider the most influential out of the 100, it would be Vladimir Putin. This man has done wonders for his country "Russia". He has built a struggling country into a top power and is now being recognized as a threat among others as well as targeting the younger generation with a Putin camp. He is no longer the President but the Prime Minister of Russia now. Although he is not literally the leader anymore he still is who running the show over there and has caught the attention of many. My second and third choice would be Hu Jintao, and the Dalai Lama.
