"Putin's plans":-
This is a scenario that just
a day ago I don't think any Russian really
would have predicted.
She wouldn't your real
politics give up she's nearly straight or gross or premature no against titute.
It has been a weird couple
of days in Russian politics with a
big shake-up that seems to be all about solving the biggest political issue
here.
Which is what happens when
Vladimir Putin's plans forced to step down from the presidency
in 2024 first,
Though this country has a
brand new prime minister the country's chief taxman who's now been thrust into
the political spotlight for the first time taking over from Dmitry Medvedev
He got a massive vote of
support from Parliament 383 votes in
favor not a single one against.
Mr.
Medvedev for the time being at least has been sidelined achieve
it not to me privately storage his confederates a non-rebreather state president inertia strongly was most pretty much the
senior pretty Mediterranean level.
Now they boil down to three
key points the first one is a slightly weakened presidency,
So in the future, nobody
will be able to rule for as long as Putin has then there's a slightly
strengthened Parliament and finally the State Council a body.
That Mr. Putin's plans already
heads will get its status beefed up a bit well.
Mr.
Putin says is about more democracy and better governance but
many Russians think this is the start of his transition plan after two decades
in POW he has interests.
He has allies he has a whole
system to protect he can't just disappear for example after the reforms,
He could continue to
influence things through the state council once its powers have been beefed up
so what the Russians make of all this
well some of them do believe it.
They hope things are going
to change they do still support Mr. Putin‘plans
others see new faces,
But the same old ideas they
talk about smoke and mirror many Russians though see this as very much part of
me.
Putin's plans trying to secure his own political future and creating
some kind of new role for himself as a supreme leader here in Russia you.
