Watch: President Vladimir Putin's inauguration

Watch as Russian President Vladimir Putin is inaugurated after his re-election in March, complete with an artillery salute and a parade of the Presidential Regiment on Cathedral Square in Moscow.

This is Mr. Putin's third consecutive term as President after he appeared to win a landslide victory on 17 March, just weeks after his most prominent opponent Alexei Navalny died in prison.

Western nations say the election was neither fair nor democratic, and many are choosing to boycott today's ceremony.
