The Putin System

Euro Atlantic

Vladimir Putin has dominated Russian politics for nearly two decades. On 18 March 2018, the president was re-elected for another six years, winning nearly 77 per cent of votes cast. The “Putin System” is not geared towards urgently needed economic and social reforms, but mainly serves to cement existing relations of power.
