Russian President Putin named Time magazines Person of the Year
Russian President Vladimir Putin was named Time magazines’ Person of the Year on December 19th. for strengthening stability（稳定）that made Russia a world power again.
The magazine recognized Putins extraordinary feat（技艺）of leadership in taking a country that was in a mess and bringing it stability，said Richard Stengel，Times managing editor.
The magazine noted that Person of the Year is not an honor or an endorsement（认可）but a recognition of leadership that shapes the world.
Putin，who is 56 years old，is very popular in Russia，making a great effort to cause economy to come to life on revenue（收入）from oil and natural gas.
Putin recently supported vice-PM Dmitry Medvedevs presidential bid，and said he would accept Medvedevs offer to serve as prime minister if Medvedev is elected on March 2.
The Kremlin said Wednesday the Time recognition was seen there as an acknowledgement of Putins role in helping Russia pull out of its social and economic troubles in the 1990s.
Others considered for Person of the Year included Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore and author J.K. Rowling.
This years choice was a return to the magazines tradition of picking an individual rather than last years choice of You，which refers to anyone creating or using content on the World Wide Web.
