Analysis: Pomp and ceremony don't change what Putin has done to Russia

As Vladimir Putin begins his fifth term as Russian president, our international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn shares his thoughts...

"Having rigged yet another election, subverted the Russian constitution, destroyed the free press and either killed or locked up any opposition, Vladimir Putin today used all the trappings of Russian pomp and ceremony to try and cloak himself in a mantle of false legitimacy," he says.

"Putin has taken a country that was emerging from communism and economic collapse towards reform and reintegration into the international community, and he's turned it into a pariah state threatening global security while he and his kleptocracy have stolen billions," he says.
