TheGreatBuzz Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 So from what I understand, and please someone correct me if I'm wrong, is Putin is shifting power to the PM role with the assumption that he will go back to that spot. And everyone resigned so that as President, he could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm about to lose power, so must change the rules. You do realize, we're all trashing Putin here for acting like a Republican. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had two terms as Russian president from 2000 to 2008, then was Prime Minister from 2008 to 2012. He then moved back to President from 2012 until now. Just reverting back to PM, and then it'll be another stint as President. Same as it ever was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
