Opening a military cathedral on Monday, Putin said the Soviet wartime victory remained a touchstone for modern Russia, calling it a sacred memory. The vote from June 25 until July 1 on constitutional changes, including an amendment that would allow Putin two more six-year terms as president if re-elected. Current constitutional limits bar him from seeking re-election when his mandate ends in 2024.

Polls show people’s willingness to protest has risen as lower oil prices and a prolonged lockdown have battered the economy, unemployment has risen, and a Kremlin plan to reverse years of falling real wages has been knocked off course.

Good for him!

In Russia, you don’t vote for Putin, Putin votes for you.

Never understand military parade

Lol. You really think this is a fair vote? Under Putin?

God help us!!

Vote... LMAO! .. you mean show!

war mongers and gay hater useless man of nothing

Ribbentrop- Molotov, do you remebrer?

Poor Russians. Such a corrupt society and no clear way to break the chain as the voting process is rigged. That’s tRUmp’s wet dream. It may come true.

Shhhhh! Don't let Trump know.

C'mon Putin, drop the act and declare yourself Emperor. We know it, you know it, your people know it.

I get that some news places still try to have accurate coverage, but come on! We ALL know Putin will be running again and he will win again. He’s not going anywhere.

Trump will be watching that with twisted envy.

Putin want to rule for life. Deadlines no longer necessary.

Lot of people are going to fall out of windows tonight 👀

Corona virus hello

After 13 years, Putin may extend rule for another 10 years. I feel sorry for his fearful opponents and Russian non-supporter citizens. Russia is not a true democracy, granted no nation is perfect.

Putin will rule forewer

great, now Trump's gonna want one, too

Literally a dictatorship

Wonder what part God will play in this show of naked ambition by this former Colonel in the terror police?

Tsar Putin is there for life. Russian is a dictatorship in all but name.

Spectacular

The US doesn't seem to have a problem with lifetime rulers who fall in line with US foreign policy like the lifetime rulers in Saudi Arabia.

Putin is doing stuff like this while American culture is being destroyed in a cultural revolution. Strong horse weak horse

Stolen elections over and over MurdererPutin

Alabado

matheusalesv it's happening

Are you OK Reuters?

Putin on the Ritz!

Putin needs to be ousted not more dictator years. He let y'all die by the 1000's and lied to you

Dictatorship Continues Coward Citizens of Russia

Of course his rule will be extended. Is there really an option? trump Putin ontyranny

Is this just a formality? He has it 100% rigged and in the bag for the rest of his life, doesn't he?

This parade is about our victory in Great Patriotic War. And it happens every year. But your cheap propaganda for westerners always tries to tie it to Putin somehow.

Now you see why BunkerBoy wants a military parade right?

'Fly, my pretties'

Putin es Stalin2 tiempo al tiempo.

You're acting as if it isn't a foregone conclusion.

I hope he's in office forever. He is the greatest statesman of our time.

You know DJT is all frothy watching this.
