Vladimir Putin: Russia's modern-day tsar sworn in for fifth term

"We are a united and great people. Together we will overcome all obstacles, we will bring all our plans to fruition, and together we will win,"

"Plans - yeah - expansionist plans for the russian empire - currently only a bit of Ukraine , a bit of Georgia and Belarus (as well as russia ) but putin has plans !

But Putinism: that's a thing.

"We have one more -ism in our history: Stalinism," says Andrei Kolesnikov, senior fellow at the Carnegie Eurasia Russia Centre.

"I would say that Putinism is one more incarnation of Stalinism. He behaves like [former Soviet dictator] Stalin. His power is personalised, like in Stalin's time. He prefers to use a lot of political repressions. And like Stalin, he is ready to keep himself in power until the physical end."
