Inflation (CPI) during each president's tenure

Every president since 1991, ranked by how the inflation (CPI) changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

#	President	In office	Total	Per year	Chart
1	N Vladimir Putin	7 May 2012 – now	+2.8 pp Apr 2012 → Sep 2026	+0.2 pp/yr
2	Dmitry Medvedev	7 May 2008 – 7 May 2012	−10.7 pp Apr 2008 → Apr 2012	−2.7 pp/yr

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % change on a year earlier · BIS, Russia's consumer price index from Rosstat, change over twelve months, monthly from 2002 (the World Bank's yearly rate before) · Russia data · as of Sep 2026.
