At the website Time editor Richard Stengel explains: “At significant cost to
the principles and ideas that free nations prize, he has performed an
extraordinary feat of leadership in imposing stability on a nation that has
rarely known it and brought Russia back to the table of world power. For that
reason, Vladimir Putin is TIME's 2007 Person of the Year.”
