Answer:
A.His experience and integrity quelled charges of corruption.
Explanation:
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is a lawyer and the current president of the Russian Federation, who had previously held two consecutive periods (2000-2004, 2004-2008 and 2012-2018), which makes him the longest he has been in that position since the breakup of the USSR. He is a lawyer and politician by profession. He headed the Government of his country under Boris Yeltsin and Dmitri Medvedev, as well as United Russia. He is also, since May 27, 2008, president of the Council of Ministers of the Union of Russia and Belarus.
He won the presidential elections on March 26, 2000 with 52.94% of the votes. During his administration there were high rates of economic growth, with an increase of 72% in GDP and a substantial decrease in poverty. Unlike his predecessor, his government enjoyed wide popular support and was re-elected in the March 2004 elections with 71.31% of the votes. In 2008, unable to stand for a third term because it was not allowed in the Russian Constitution, Putin pushed for the candidacy of then Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in the 2008 presidential elections, which won the elections. Putin then became prime minister. In the elections of March 2012, he was again elected president (63.60% of the votes), although there were accusations of fraud by the opposition. He was re-elected with 76.69% of the votes in the 2018 presidential election.
