MOSCOW - Russian presidents could be made immune from criminal prosecution once they leave office under proposed constitutional reforms, a senior lawmaker said on Tuesday.
Putin’s initiatives, which were followed by a government shake-up, are widely seen as a way to allow him to extend his grip on power after his term ends in 2024. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters he would not comment on the working group’s proposal at this stage.
A Big demicracy which allow the leader to do everything without any risks and no procédures After his acts and décision against humanity rights liberty .... Yes his was a sort of dictator And nothing waranty us he will not be reelected....
Are you paying attention don?!!
since one always tries to take revenge on ex presidents (look at Sarkozy up to his ears in court cases, my guess it's more to do with risk management. still it suggests Putin's planning his exit.
Sound familiar...? 1. Rig elections 2. arrest (or kill) opponents 3.own judiciary 4. Use propaganda 5. empower personal secret service 6. claim absolute immunity
Given POTUS wishes he could emulate Putin and his dictatorship, I'll bet he has MoscowMitch senatemajldr working on something like that here, asap!
Any bets?
Oh trump and barr must love this. They must be calling vlad to see how he is doing that. trump will be announcing that before November.
Trump will do same.
Nice one Vladimir!!

Putin’s trying to lead by example.
So they could steal as they wish, nice country.
why not some others make the same for ex soldiers !!!
don't give POTUS any ideas please
I'll bet Trump would love to have a law like this on his way out the door, except there's one problem with this idea and her name is Nancy, Nancy doesn't give a shit about our crazy president and there is no way Trump is going to be immune from prosecution, just not in the books!
If putin wants it, it will happen. But it's more like an example for his protégé in the United States.
Of course they are!
Sure
Ex dictators you mean.
Winds of change is here then... change is on the way
Great - Trump will follow suit without a doubt in 3, 2, 1
