He’s Russia’s longest-serving leader since Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
And if you are a Russian and you are under 20, you’ve never known another leader.
His critics fear he’s preparing to be ‘president for life’.
The 67 year old has backed a constitutional amendment to reset his presidential term count to zero, allowing him to run in another two elections.
The lower house of parliament passed the legislation on Tuesday.
And Russians are due to have their say in a constitutional referendum next month.
The amendments are the latest in a choreographed process that began in January.
Putin argues staying in power after his term ends will be good for Russia.
But how convinced are his critics?

March 20, 2020What's the problem you have, when the English people come out from their grudge? Why you always want to run the world according to yours thoughts? Its Russian country, and its their problem who gonna rule or not, why are you interfering in their matters.

March 20, 2020Este hombre quiere estar en el poder como los Castro y el Cerdo Maduro para dejar seca a toda una nacion, convertirse en el mas millonario y el que tiene mas derechos, asi son los comunistas asquerosos de este mundo. Hay que bajarlos y ponerlos a trabajar limpiando las calles y vean que cuando uno trabaja puede comer, no vivir a expensas de los demás y comprar mansiones que nunca ocupan mientras los mas inocentes viven en la calle. En Rusia la gente vieja tiene una pension de hambre y tienen que sacar la comida de los basureros. Eso lo vi yo en una filmación y tambien por informacion de rusos que conozco, asi es la vida en ese pais, son mas de 70 años y la gente no conoce otra cosa.

March 20, 2020Putin is a disgrace to Russia. Even Under Stalin , They have collective leadership at least on paper.
aminaalice alic
March 20, 2020Putin will stay forever. Why? We have corruption and injustice everywhere and citizens don't trust USA…
Ishri Rampersad
March 20, 2020It seems that Mr. Putin is such an outstanding success, so far ahead, he's showing how tawdry, ordinary, useless many of the other leaders are. They'd do not want to let him put them in the also ran group! Too bad for them, he brought a breath of fresh air to leadership.

March 20, 2020if he's so good as russians / trolls say, why does he need to fix elections and prevent other parties from standing?
Zamani Dlamini

March 20, 2020Putin has done more for or rather with Russia more so than anyone else could have.
Thumtl Nguyen
March 20, 2020I think he has no other choice. He surely has domestic enemies they wouldn't let him enjoy his retirement when he's out of power. Second, Russian assembly members don't want to loose their chairs when a new president is in power. One Russian friend of mine told me that the last election was ridged. He has support from old Russian generation and they're very patriotic.
