How Russian President Putin's constitutional shake-up could keep him in power past 2024?
“It’s clear to everyone that everything is going exclusively towards setting Putin up to rule for life,” he wrote on social media.
“It would increase the role and significance of the country’s parliament ... of parliamentary parties, and the independence and responsibility of the prime minister,” he said. Putin thanked Medvedev, a longtime ally, for what he had achieved, adding, perhaps with an eye on complaints about Russia’s listless economy: “Not everything worked out of course - but then, nothing ever works out totally.”
Trenin also tweeted: “Mikhail #Mishustin’s elevation to Russia’s PM is designed to get more competent leadership in Cabinet, which will have to focus on all-important domestic agenda. Medvedev’s career isn’t over, Putin still needs him in transition scenario. He remains what he’s always been: alter ego.”
