Earlier this week he was victorious in the country's election - winning in a landslide result of 87.3%. But why did Russia even hold an election when it was almost certain that Putin would be re-elected? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what happens now for Russia and the rest of the world, particularly Ukraine, as well as claims of a rigged election.
