American Soldier Taken Prisoner by the Russians
Video Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been sworn in for his fifth term in office, amid widespread repression, censorship, and media control. Putin, 71, has been in power since 2000 and was re-elected for another six-year term in March, with no real opposition. The inauguration was marked by a lack of international attendance, with only a few world leaders from authoritarian countries attending. The event was also marred by reports of jammed mobile and internet networks, with Putin’s speech broadcast on state-controlled television. The Russian leader has been accused of promoting LGBT propaganda, with his eyebrows allegedly shaped and colored to appear stronger. Meanwhile, Ukraine has refused to recognize Putin’s legitimacy, calling for international non-recognition of his presidency.
