His ally Dmitry Medvedev took his place in 2008, which critics saw as a way around Russia&#8217;s limit on two consecutive terms for presidents.<\/p>\n<p>While in office, Medvedev signed off on legislation extending terms to six years starting with the next president.<\/p>\n<p>Putin then returned to the Kremlin in 2012 and won re-election in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The term reset was part of constitutional reforms that included populist economic measures and sweeteners for traditionalists such as an effective ban on gay marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Russians voted yes or no to the entire bundle of amendments in a vote last summer that was held over the course of a week, in a move authorities said was aimed at limiting the spread of the coronavirus but critics said left the process open to manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>Golos, an independent election monitor, criticised the format of the vote, saying Russians should have been able to vote for each separate change.<\/p>\n<p>It also said it received hundreds of complaints of violations, including people voting multiple times.<\/p>\n<p>Russians ultimately voted 78 percent in favour of the changes.<\/p>\n<div
