Fifth inauguration of Vladimir Putin

The fifth inauguration of Vladimir Putin as President of Russia took place on Tuesday, 7 May 2024, after being declared the winner of the 2024 Russian presidential election. Some nations declined to participate in the inauguration ceremony due to reports of electoral fraud. Ukraine declared that it would not acknowledge Putin as the president of Russia. This will be the first full term served after the 2020 Russian constitutional amendments which established a hard two-term limit. It is expected that the government will resign as usual. The President addressed the citizens, and then, according to tradition, received the parade of the presidential regiment on the Kremlin’s Cathedral Square. The inauguration ceremony was attended by members of the government, the presidential administration, deputies of both chambers of parliament, judges of the Constitutional Court and members of the Central Election Commission.
