Putler (Russian: Путлер), sometimes extended to Vladolf Putler[1] (Владольф Путлер[2][3]), is a derogatory neologism and portmanteau formed by merging the names of Vladimir Putin and Adolf Hitler.[4][5][6] Often used in the slogan "Putler Kaput!" (German: Putler kaputt!; Russian: Путлер Капут!, literally, "Putler broken!") by people opposed to Putin,[7][8] the term has a negative connotation.[7]
