interesting... just waiting to see what rt are saying. seems odd though that he feels he needs to employ the tactics of erdogan or mr china when his last election gained him 76percent of the vote and there's no immediate threat to that changing next time around.

so as im typing im reading whats on the bottom of the screen on rt right now and it seems he is already replacing them all for probably those ministers who support him more than those that resigned so basically what im seeing is an orchestrated string of events that will bolster him anyway. similar to if trump could get a majority in congress and a more convincing one in the senate too

be interesting to see where we are when the dust settles

He only gets two terms as president at a time, so last time, he became prime minister for a while, then president again. I have a feeling the interim president was the one who did all the unpopular things that Putin wanted doing, but that's just speculation. If they ever really get him out of power, they should amend the constitution to two terms per person, (which was probably the intent) not just consecutive terms.

I just read this report, and it looks like the parliament didn't resign, they were resigned (think being volunteered). https://www.BBC.co.uk/news/world-europe-51120166

Apparently it's true and the initial thought about the reason is that it gives Putin more power even after he's no longer president.

Smartass. Perhaps show more context to your statement, and people can. :) politics provides plenty of context by comparison.

He just wants to minors the power of his successor by letting that power to the parliament. Russia will be more like a democratic country. Why? Because whoever takes his place could have more than enough power to make a big mistake, like some conflict or even worse.

Given that his term ends on 2024 and the proposed changes to the constitution of Russia includes removing the 'in a row' part of the term-limit of the President ('2 terms in a row') to forbid another run, plus turnover of Presidential power to the legislature, it seems he's preparing to retire, but limiting whatever damage a successor can do (in the worst case scenario).

Putin probably asked them to resign. The “reforms” are an opportunity for him to restructure the government to his liking and maintain his power. Putin is basically a lifetime appointed dictator under the guise of democratic elections.

It means that Putin wants to rule after 2024, when he - under the current system - would not be capable of running for presidency.

@SomeGuyCalledTom The word was to be pre-selected. Meaning the media reports on a one or two candidates from either party so those names get drilled into your head and when you got to the booth all you really know is what youve heard.

Yes Trump is an anomaly and very few if any are elected such as him. He himself surrounded himself with swamp monsters only to preserve his seat and not get assassinated. If he was truly subverting America our Praetorian Guard (Secret Service) would have killed him off by now.

People are acting outraged as if Russia could truly influence millions upon millions of people to vote a certain way through ad campaigns on facebook.

The real manipulation happens domestically and its everyday with our 24/7 and sometimes they have nothing to report so they must create drama simply to keep viewership #s.

If you are an honest person you would realize 4 of the 6 media conglomerates which control about 85% of all media in America is liberal, 1 of 6 is conservative (with limited assets) and 1 is Japanese owned (Sony) and only deals in Hollywood productions - which occasionally are influenced with political propaganda, i. e the Wonder Woman film 2017 changed the story. The bad guys who were always bad now were refugees seeking asylum. So just like in Nazi Germany when they were using film and media to propagandize people into thinking Heinrich Himmlers agenda was righteous and rational.

If you are curious who the 6 conglomerats are : Time Warner, Comcast, National Amusements, NewsCorp, Sony, and Disney
