You are just repeating western propaganda. Putin is one of the greatest leaders of our time. He has done great things for Russia's economy and enjoys approval ratings that US presidents can't reach.
The same was true for Hitler prior to WW2, but even more so. Pre-WW2 Hitler is arguably the greatest head of state this world has ever seen. Germany was in the dumps and the Nazi party turned it around very quickly and they became #1 in the world. It was one of the most stunning economic turnarounds ever. The events around WW2 have just made it extremely taboo to shed Hitler in any positive light, so nobody does.
The thing to watch out for is when a leader does great things, gains the overwhelming backing of his people and thus feels emboldened to take risks. He will be president of Russia until 2018. I do suspect that he will make a bold move of some kind before then.
