Option 1 is incorrect. Vladimir Putin took his oath of office in May 2012 as the President of Russia for the third time, but he did not defeat Dmitri Medvedev. Rather, Medvedev served as the President of Russia from 2008 to 2012, while Putin served as the Prime Minister.

Option 2 is correct. After his election in 2012, Vladimir Putin faced mass protests against his presidency. These protests were unprecedented and posed significant challenges to his leadership.

Option 3 is correct. Dmitri Medvedev served as the Prime Minister of Russia during Vladimir Putin`s presidency from 2008 to 2012. Medvedev held the role of President before Putin`s third term in office.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
