Well, he's back.
Quote:
“I promised you we would win. We have won. Glory to Russia,” Putin, dressed in an anorak and flanked by outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev, told tens of thousands of flag-waving supporters late in the evening at a victory rally meters from the red walls of the Kremlin.
“We have won in an open and honest battle. We proved that no-one can force anything on us.”

It's unofficial, but they're saying he won around 63% of the votes.
I think he's pretty awesome. He turned Russia around, and is the reason why they're a world superpower now. One of the great world political readers. You may not like him, but he's good.
