Putin was already (15 years ago, because he's so old). Putin's idol Stalin was twice (1939 after the pact with Hitler and again in 1943 after turning the tide of war in the East against his former ally). Stalin was in fact the only TIME Man of the Year (now "Person of the Year") to be awarded twice. And of course was, as they say, worse than Hitler. (But so much more successful.)

Putin's grandfather was actually Stalin's personal cook, and previously Lenin's, too - and once even Rasputin's (according to Putin). Also a Chekist, of course. Survived all the purges and died of natural causes in 1965, still serving the Party elite.
