Putin set to be inaugurated for fourth term as president of Russia

Vladimir Putin has been elected as a president of Russia in the last election in March, and this is the forth term that he has been in the office. Putin has been in power for 18 years, and by the time, if and when reaches to the end of this term of six years, which is in 2024, Putin will have been in power of Russia for about a quarter of a century, which nearly reaches the Russia's long last leaders, for example, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, Alexander II, and Nicholas I. At the last election in March, Putin was elected with more than 76 % of the vote, which was his best performance at the times of election. However, there are some protests against Putin, suspecting that there were some irregularities of ballot-rigging for the election. The best-known opposition leader named Alexei Navalny was against Putin and demanding that the Putin is not their tsar.
