You don't use good examples. The very good example against mandate limitation is Roosevelt. If he wasn't elected 3 times in a row (as it was possible in the US at the time), you can easily say the US involvement in WWII wouldn't have been the same, as he was ferociously against the IIIrd Reich and did everything he could to help France and the UK, preparing the US to war, all that despite most of the people and US politicians wanting to remain neutral and way before Pearl Harbor.
The way I see it, nobody in Russia actually want anyone else in power than Putin (except for the communist but come on), they just want him to push reforms in matters of corruption (be it simple bribery to most generalized corruptions). Which is a good thing, it proves Russia has some civil society and that their leaders will have to compose with it instead of backrooms deals.
So they protest to maintain some pressure and show he simply can't rest on the statu quo, and he has to rise again, to the occasion.
Will he? That's another story, but so far from the near civil war condition of the end of the 90's he has done a good job. It's not perfect, but it's good (until he actually starts killing deputies with tanks it will still have proved himself better democrat than the guy before him).
Motherfuker just won the biggest prize of all times. Tsar of Russia!!!! I would be crying like a bitch too.
P.S. It's a shame a russian pres using an american pr firm. Crying on tv is an american invention!!!
At least I can talk to him in my own language![]()

And most of the stuff he says makes a lot of sense.
German speaking Putin creeps me out for some reason...
I just wonder, did he have Russian accent when speaking in German?
He has a Russian accent, but he is very fluent and he has a very distinct intonation, showing off that he really understands what he says and is not just reading stuff from a piece of paper.

Sorry, couldnt' contain myself.
Well, obviously being native speaker you don't think that your own language is difficult. I loved to read books when I was child, so mastering Russian was pretty easy for me.
But some foreign langs are more difficult than others. Just try to listen some Chinese sentences, WTF is THAT?![]()
Give cloned Putin for German president, please.
What about Roosevelt? He served three terms when the times were hard in US. I find that making sense.
The times are hard in Russia still after the breakup of SU. Everything needs to stabilize and all new beginnings need to be controlled by a strong president.
And what were the other options in last RF elections? Laughable.. Some red-nose-communist, thief-bad-manager, US-agent and nationalistic clown?
In big cities-yes, mostly. Elsewhere-many, many problems.
He is just better among the other guys in elections. But he and his party needs to refresh themselves this 6 years and present a brand new guy at the next elections, or our country would repeat the last period of USSR.
I guess he just hadn't this passion:
