Hello everyone I'm Terry Moran with ABC news we're here at Red Square Moscow. Walking along because. Well we might get chased out by the police but that's not the story. The stories this is of the currently here through the one of the great buildings in the world defender of power in Russia for centuries we've gotten here to talk about Vladimir Putin's. Who won an unprecedented fourth term as president of Russia. Yesterday we were here is rally was just outside the walls of the Kremlin here. Horton got a giant landslide. Not unexpectedly he was expected to win he got. More than 70% of the vote more than 75% of the vote. And that's what he was looking for because the real. Defense. In this election was not who was gonna win every new whose Google important is very popular in Russia. That he'd he has brought stability to a country that was wracked by economic disaster when he took over. Andy make sure that he doesn't have meaningful opposition. Then leading liberal candidate election of Bali his name might of heard of him. Here's a guy that organizes a lot of big protests. Around Russia. He was charged with corruption just before the campaign began which means he couldn't run. And the opponents that put did have they squabble that record didn't end up being much of a factor. At the end of the day was gonna govern Russia for at least another six years. And it means for Russia. That their policies he's pursued around the world. Will continue. Getting here. So. What they a couple of things about what Putin is doing Gordon has solidified his power. This he will take it a mandate this huge election triumph that he had. And he's going to. Hit them hit the gas and human thing. There's no question that he is being more aggressive projecting Russian power world he wants Russia to be treated as equal. In the discussions. How the world is run. And he is breaking all those norms and all the practices. Of the international order for the past. Several decades if chalice. Can the United States. So we walked out of Red Square right now. Plus there's been. Got them. I had a light over here. Moscow and orders gorgeous. Cold though this is actually quite warm spent actually bitter cold here. And this is one of the reasons take a look. There's one of the reasons that Putin. Has the support popular support that he does. Russians have a much better life certainly the elite here in Moscow this is the gloom department store now wall. Where the elite shop for designer gear. There's no question that. That. Putin has. Delivered. Not just stability but little. Of the good life that Russians and we heard from voters were talking about them past couple days. Native to they would vote for Putin for just that stability. Life that they have. And frankly because there aren't any meaningful opponent he controls state media that story that Russians get hold. About. Their place in the world about the United States. Is dominated by Putin's perspective which is that Russia is besieged country. Russian institute he is the defender of mother Russia defender of its interest around the world. But Doug somebody today who said that gluten is essentially becoming another czar rulers of Russia for all those centuries and the questioning was asked last night after he. Had a victory rally would he run again in six years. And he laughed it off he's what you think I'm gonna be here till I'm 100 years old but there's a feeling here. Vladimir Putin like so many Russian rulers before him. Will rule until he dies. In part because. He doesn't want to leave office. He might face prosecution as some authoritarian leaders have around the world for what his successes would consider. To be crimes. But. Bill would be big international issue right. That he'd addressed last night as well is that poisoning the nerve agent a former. Spy Russian name circus crippled and his daughter in Salisbury England. That has been. Traced according to the British to a nerve agent manufactured. In Russia back in the early. 1990s. And food was asked have you done this he said absolutely not it's fantasy nonsense and rubbish enough that we would do such a thing. On the eve of a presidential election. Is completely and things. But there's. What can stuff. Here you can see over illustrator. You occasionally see. Hello.

Aaron way back in the Middle Ages. Asbestos. I just this the ho and of course. Mr. Hannity here you don't look like Stalin. Justice. As good to remember especially if you walk through this place rush is different proud of it there. Putin has tried to say we are not the west and we are not. It obviously Islam more these were Russia work our own culture. And he's tried to revive things like the orthodox church. A few good get a picture with. Past. It's mostly just the stuff. That's offensive difference is something that that did not just nationalism. But Russian. Culture being special. In the world having its own contribution to make the world. And it's almost as a visiting chip on Vladimir Putin's shoulder he doesn't he hasn't think that that has been recognized enough couldn't stand Barack Obama. Who dismissed. Putin's Russia and foods. Moves around the world hello. You. With who is this notion that their economy isn't as strong as ours and therefore they aren't present in raged who. And he is revived so much of the old Russia the church for example. The orthodox church which. For a long time under Communist rule of the Soviet rule was repressed.
