The pro-Capitalist policies of Boris Yeltsin found a reluctant agreement with many in Russia, but the courtship between Yeltsin and the West, particularly America, was met with very strong opposition. Yeltsin fielded many corruption allegations, and many were true. The Soviet ideology, which taught people to resist exploitation was still strong; it was one of the reasons the Soviet republics dissolved from the Soviet Union!
Anyway, nevertheless, many Russians were displeased with the old Soviet controllers, but equally were displeased with a new man who simply suckled their old enemies; it would be the equivalent of George W. Bush talking the evils of Islamic fundamentalism, and a new prime minister [assuming a government change] literally cheering the progressive implementation of Sharia law. The Russians, common and elite would see this in just as threatening a light, which led to Yeltsin having a very troubled presidency and the target of a very well coordinated, but unsuccessful coup d'etat.

I do not think there are any term limits on the Russian President and he serves for 6 years per term. It is much harder to get on the ballot in Russia, even if they are counted fairly. The Russian president seems to have more control of spending. All of this tends to give the Russian more power. I do not know exactly what legal power he has. There is also a prime minister.
American, then French, then Russian, then Chinese.
