Putin celebrated with tens of thousands of his supporters as they rallied outside the Kremlin, thanking them for their support against plots to destroy Russia.
Opposition members don't plan to take this victory quietly as they plan protests, starting with a rally in Pushkin Square in central Moscow on Monday night.
