Summary/Abstract: On 18 March 2018 Vladimir Putin was elected President of the Russian Federation for the fourth time, and at the beginning of May he will begin his next term, which, in accordance with Russian law, should last until 2024. During his rule, which started at the beginning of 2000, Putin and his associates have profoundly changed Russia, its economic and political system, and its foreign policy. This report is intended, firstly, to act as a summary of the results of Putin’s rule until now, in the areas of domestic policy, the economy and foreign policy, and the security and defence spheres related to these policies. Secondly, it aims to characterise the main challenges which the Russian authorities face on the threshold of Putin’s fourth term. Thirdly and finally, it will attempt to outline the prospects for the Kremlin’s policy, and offer forecasts of future developments in those areas in Russia.
