Putin, the Tsar of new-century Russia
"What Putin's Latest Win Means for Russia" PBS Newshour 3/5/2012
Excerpt
MARGARET WARNER (Newshour): Vladimir Putin strode into his campaign headquarters after midnight, buoyed by winning a third term as president and six more years as Russia's preeminent leader.
Putin took a victory lap by satellite with managers and workers at a Ural Mountains metals factory. Amid thanks for their support, he took shots at the protest movement that broke out after December's disputed parliamentary elections.
VLADIMIR PUTIN, Russian prime minister (through translator): You put in our place those who dare to insult the working people. You showed what a real Russian working man is. You showed that you are high above any of those good-for-nothing chatterboxes, and it became the biggest present for me.
