Again a hard question. From my point of view, this is acceptable on two reasons.

1. People are living better since Putin get to power.

2. People support him.

From the law point of view they made it the way that its 100% legal. And since most of Russia support Putin we close our eyes on some things. ))
Btw, if I know correctly, Rusvelt also was a president 3 times, even against some American laws. Should you call him a dictator because of this?

So, its like i said. You claimed i was telling bullshit, but it isnt. The only reason people put up with it is because of the money flowing into the country due to oil and gas reserves.

I am sure that that Rusvelt thing was a very long time ago. No american president can do that anymore without 8 year intervals between mandates. Since theres a much better democratic system (though with its problems, its not fixed) the people probably wouldnt support that aswell and he/she would fail in that atempt.

We have a law in Russia. Putin was elected as a president according to the law. Then the law was changed, with all the nesessary procedures. With a new law in place, he can be a president two times in a raw again. Its 100% legal. You can call it a trick. But I personally support it since Putin is only possible leader for Russia at this moment (in my personal opinion).
