Putin did not reveal which of the three Russian vaccines he received.

At present, Russia has registered Sputnik V (the first officially certified vaccine against COVID-19 in the world, developed by the Gamaleya Institute), EpiVacCorona, developed by the Novosibirsk research centre Vector, and CoviVac, made by the Chumakov Research Institute.

Each one of them has two stages, so it remains unclear which one was used by the Russian president.
