how many terms does the president of russia can serve
Russia constitution chapter 4 article 81 : 3. âOne person may not hold the position of Russian president for more than two terms in a row.â. So Putin had two terms between 2000 - 2008 and third term from 2012 till 2018. If you ask why 6 years in 2012 instead of 4 - terms were extended from four to six years in 2008, during Dmitry Medvedev's presidency.
