Kremlin calls vote allowing Putin to rule until 2036 a triumph as Russians ponder his next move

An independent monitoring group said the vote was deeply flawed but Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, said the emphatic nature of the result was a measure of how deeply Russians trusted Putin to run the country. Already the longest-serving leader in modern Russian history since Josef Stalin, Putin has said he has yet to decide on his political future, but wanted officials to avoid getting distracted by the question of who one day might succeed him.Some people said they were sure he would try to stay in the Kremlin for as long as he could while others predicted he would step down in 2024 but thought he wanted to keep his options open so as not to become a lame duck before then.

“Running such a country is very difficult and apparently there is no worthy successor yet, or they are just not ready,” he said. Putin’s approval rating stood at 60% last month, still high but hovering around just above a two-decade low after slipping in April amid the coronavirus crisis and related economic pain, a poll by the Levada Center showed.

madamoskof madamoskof ne diyo?

'Sorry I don't recognise you ..can I see your passport please'.

Is she death?

Great victory for Russia 🇷🇺...

Good, don't forget to do the same deal with GOD , may be he'll decide something else!!!!!

Credit Putin for demonstrably conforming to the electoral system; his knowing, amused smile is testament. He's disarming and charming in this photo; alas, we know his other side.

Acting!

NOTE PUTIN NOT WEARING A MASK I THINK HE AND TRUMP HAVE A DEAL.

Flipping Dictatorship!

Cut the middleman. Putin for US president!

Mr Putin....you have already reached your 10 vote limit but for you I'll make an exception

Trump would love that Putin is his mentor and he wanna be like Mike

Hasta el 2036 sera Putin Presidente de Russia. A ésto es lo que llamo elecciones ''libres y limpias'' como las que quieren hacer en Venezuela. Elecciones vitalicias. El mismo de siempre.

For someone who has been in public service most of his life, he's a multimillionaire on public servant salaries. Amazing!

I wonder who Putin is voting for Nov 3 TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

Hopefully he'll pass before that

Dictator Putin as a child.

36 years of that man running Russia... Will be fascinating to see what is left

Is that Russia Putin will be ruling, or the USA

All you Putin Haters here in the USA are going to be crying for another 16 years.

Putin is more sensible then many of the existing global leaders.

I’m sure Putin broke his arm patting himself on the back

Meet the new tyrants , same as the old tyrants .

Congratulations to 2036

So nobody got thrown out the window, I mean jumped 🙄 so Putin could win, well at least Russian and American people are connected till 2036🤦‍♀️

When Putin speaks of triumph, thoughts of fascism arise

poor Russians

This is your home address, right? Now make sure I get to be president for life before I have to send someone to “greet” your family.

I mean at this point why is he even pretending there are any democratic mechanisms involved?

Taking back the Stan countries and moving further into Ukraine, as well as the Baltic area

Are you sure Putin is not a Democrat ? He sure acts like one !
