Putin is the symbol of Russia, and no one can imagine what Russia that lost Putin would become. Previously, Russia passed a constitutional amendment bill. According to the contents of the bill, Putin can continue to participate in the presidential election after completing his current presidential term in 2024, and can be re-elected until 2036 after being elected. This constitutional amendment is actually a bit surprising, because at the beginning of the year Putin hinted that he hoped to limit the president's power through constitutional amendment.
As a mature politician, Putin certainly knows that decisions should not go back on his word, but Putin still insists on making such a decision, which must have profound meaning and also shows that the situation facing Russia is very serious. Some analysts believe that the reason why Putin re-layout is mainly for the sake of the country. In addition to making special provisions on the term of office of the president, the amendment also has important provisions on the national territory. The article stipulates that no one has the power to split or give Russian territory to other countries, and the franchisees cannot be divided from the Russian Federation at any time. Even the Russian president has no right to dispose of state territory in this way.
Putin's worries are not an unscrupulous concern, Crimea is an example. As a historical issue left over from the Soviet Union, Russia now pays a huge price to deal with the ownership of Crimea. Although Crimean citizens joined Russia through a referendum through democratic procedures, Russia is still sanctioned by Western countries. In addition to Crimea, Russia has many similar problems, such as Chechen Republic , Georgia surrounding areas, the Baltic Three Kingdoms, the enclave Kaliningrad, etc.
Russia with Putin may be able to resolve these successive crises, which is one of the reasons why this constitutional amendment extends Putin's term to 2036. But Putin cannot be Russia's leader forever. What will Russia go after 2036?
