Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is not particularly a tall man, but he is not short either. Based on research, it is discovered that he is 5 feet 7 inches tall. Comparing his height to that of German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler and North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, we found out Putin is taller than Kim, but not as tall as Hitler.
On the other hand, it is glaring that the first thing to notice about a person for the first time is their appearance- fashion sense, facial expression, and height. This goes on to express the person’s composure and personality.
In this post, we are not just going to compare the height of Vladimir Putin, Adolf Hitler, and Kim Jong Un, but also their fashion sense and facial expression.

How Tall is He?
Putin is of average height. He is 5 feet 7 inches (1.70m, 170cm) tall. While his bodyweight is said to be around 83kg (182lbs). Similarly, he has 18% body fat, 4.7 muscle index, 20 inches shoulder span, and 14 inches waist span.
His Facial Expression
The Russian President has been described as someone whose face looks so serious. Well, there are arguments that this answer comes from the way the western media chooses to portray Putin.
On the other hand, going through a catalog of his pictures, and videos of some of his appearances at national and international functions, it is discovered that the above view is not entirely true. There are instances where he smiles, laughs, and frowns. So, it is safe to say that his facial expressions are determined by moods, moments, and occasions.
However, a leading UK cosmetic surgeon says the Russian leader has a dedicated aesthetic surgeon and Botox injections. The cosmetic surgeon further stated that research indicates that the injection can slow the ability to feel emotions in those who receive them. At the moment, these claims have not been substantiated.
Fashion Sense
Vladimir Putin seems to have a high taste for what he wears- from shoes, clothes, and accessories. He has been described as a man who has cultivated an alpha male image, and his high fashion sense plays a significant role.
As of 2014, it was estimated that the Russian President’s collection of wristwatches is around 22 million rubles ($682, 000, as of then). Interestingly, that amount is almost six times his yearly salary of 3.6 million rubles ($110,000).
To show his political prowess and sophistication, he prefers to wear customized power suits in classic cuts, dark colors, and fine fabrics from the well-known Italian tailor Brioni.

- Place of Birth: Braunau am Inn, Austria
- Died: 30th April 1945

What is His Height
The former German dictator is also of average height, although an autopsy report indicates that his height dropped after he died. According to his WWI records, Hitler was 5 feet 9 inches (1.75m, 175cm) tall when he was alive. However, after he passed away, the Soviet autopsy report from 1945, which was published in the 80s describes his remains as 5 feet 4 inches (1.65m, 165cm) tall.
Judging by the above, it means Hitler was taller when he was young than in the later years of his life.
His Facial Expression
Heinrich Hoffmann was the one person whose camera has helped to record the face of Adolf Hitler. He was said to have taken about 10, 000 pictures of the German dictator.
Hoffmann revealed in an interview that Hitler is intentional about his pose for photographs. He doesn’t all any photographer to tell him what to do. It seems he has a certain message he wants his pictures to communicate.
In these pictures, Hitler’s rage, erratic and almost violent gestures are captured. He has expressed all these emotions through his face or body language.
Fashion Sense
The German dictator was described as a man who sees his clothes as a kind of armor that makes him untouchable. To this end, Hitler dressed in a field-grey uniform when he was invading Poland on 1st September 1939. He continued to use it till the war ends.
When compared to the men of the Weimar Republic, he stood out with his love bright coat. He also prefers double-breasted jackets, which helps to hide his hips.
One of his receipts in 1932 for 2 white vests and a few assorted accessories are said to be 4, 000 pounds as equivalent.

- Age: 40 years old
- Place of Birth: Wonsan, North Korea
- Height: 5 feet 4 inches (1.65m)
Is He Tall?
The 40 year-old North Korean Supreme Leader is also of average height. Initially, he was believed to be 5 feet 7 inches (1.70m 170cm) tall. But, it was discovered that he is actually 3 inches shorter, standing at 5 feet 4 inches (1.65m, 165cm) tall after an analysis of his shoes.
While he seems to be a short man, his bodyweight may have broken the scales. He weighs 136kg (300lbs).
His Facial Expression
While some people may say Kim Jong Un has a stern face. This stern face seems to show when he is involved in some tough diplomatic talks, negotiations, or raws. But, there are countless moments where he has been photographed smiling or throwing a laugh.
Fashion Sense
The North Korean Supreme Leader’s fashion sense gives an understanding of his self-perception, relationship with adversaries, and even changes in the country he rules. He prefers to wear Mao suits, which are similar to those worn by his grandfather, the first Supreme Leader of North Korea, Kim Il Sung
In as much as he prefers the Mao Suits, it was said he has some really cool outfits too. So, his choice of clothing has everything to do with his personal taste than reminding North Koreans of his grandfather.
The Verdict
After a careful analysis of Putin, Hitler, and Kim Jong Un’s height, we discover that the Russian President doesn’t share the same height as the former German dictator. Putin is 5 feet 7 inches (1.70m) tall, while Hitler’s WWI records reveal he was 5 feet 9 inches (1.75m) tall. However, a Soviet autopsy report indicates that Hitler’s remains was 5 feet 4 inches (1.65m).
Interestingly, Kim Jung Un would have shared the same height as the Russian President, but, it was discovered that his shoes were 3 inches. So, without shoes, he is 3 inches shorter. If we are to go by Hitler’s autopsy report, it is safe to his remains share the same height with the North Korean leader.
As regards their facial expression and fashion sense, they all seem to have one thing in common, power. So, the way they dress and express their emotions speaks loudly about their personality.
Fuhrer Putin, that name suits him.
