Vladimir Putin's use of language, characterized by a straightforward style abundant in colloquialisms, greatly contribute to the president's popularity in Russia. The most notable feature of it are "putinisms", quotes and excerpts from Putin's speeches, many of which are catchphrases and aphorisms well known in Russia, but which often baffled interpreters.^[1][2]
