Russian voters have overwhelmingly backed a ploy by President Vladimir Putin to rule until 2036 in a referendum with little doubt about the outcome, according to preliminary results

Moscow President Vladimir Putin has won a resounding victory in his bid to stay in power until the middle of the next decade, as Russians voted overwhelmingly to endorse the country's political status quo, according to preliminary results.

Russians went to the polls Wednesday to cast ballots in a nationwide referendum on constitutional amendments. The vote paves the way for Putin, who has ruled for two decades, to remain president until 2036."Our country, our constitution, our decision" is the slogan on the information bulletin explaining the constitutional reform to voters.

What 😳 a surprise!

Very good. You would be able to spread fake News there. Send Acosta over there to behave like in US

I bet they did.

Russia never stopped being a communist country

Wrong. Russians have voted to make necessary constitutional adjustments to the hurriedly drawn up constitution written by Jelzin after he destroyed the rule of law in Russia by blowing up their parliament. History is clearly another of many weak points of CNN ‘professionals’

Putin’s final days will be like the emperor skeksi in Dark Crystal clinging to the scepter until he turns to dust.

If reelected, you can bet YSA that Trump would try the same thing. He has the courts loaded. He's on his way.

oh. putin is great president in Rasia

This was a lost opportunity: it is time for the US and the EU to start sabotaging Putin at home. I say tie his hands in Russia so that he stops meddling elsewhere. Putin has clay feet! Sanctions and low oil price weaken him. It's time to finish his rule!

I believe it was known as the “Vodka Initiative.” Get them all drunk on free liquor and then let them have at the polls. Works every time.

Regime for life?

Voters? Come on, what a joke!

Sen. Coons on Russia bounty plot: ‘I want to be briefed on the what the president did in response’On the White House response to the Russia bounty plot, Senator Chris Coons says, “I want to be briefed on the what the president did in response and what plans they have going forward to make sure Americans and our coalition partners who continue to serve in Afghanistan are protected and that Russia is made to pay a price.” Is 'scraping and groveling in front of Putin' technically a plan or a learned response? Ignore. Deflect. Deny. That's the plan, that's always the plan.
