here's a rundown russia for more than 2 decades but who wants to stay in power even longer . protein signed that could keep him in office until 2036 what's behind this hunger for control is putting up president for life this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. for more than 20 years has been the most

in russia and this week president vladimir putin made sure he could to attain that position until 2036 when the signing of a new role hey can run for another 6 year terms once his constant and and if he does it would make him russia's longest ruling leader surpassing joseph stalin his critics call it a constitutional crew designed to make put in president for life his supporters say it means to build it if for the government. since 1st becoming president in 2000 putin has you might say managed to change the rules to stretch his influence initially served 4 years and then another 4 when he was voted in again by the russian constitution said that time to the terms was the limit so when put in his time was up in 2008 he handed the reins to his colleague dmitri medvedev and he

became prime minister but many say he continued behind the scenes as the real leader so much so that in 2012 midvale have stepped aside and put in again stood for president by this time presidential terms had been extended to 6 years put in one and again in 2018 securing power until 2024 but his now been another change in the constitution last year voters agreed put in should have the chance to serve another to turns his opponent overwhelming popularity and aggressive stance against critics makes that seem almost guaranteed . let's bring in our guests in moscow dimitri babich is

a political analyst at. internet project in rome marco deledio head of the russia and balkans desk of the center for international studies also in moscow alexander solidere a member of the russian opposition and former chairman of open russia welcome to the program dimitri 1st of all what is putting trying to say here is he saying that he wants to cling to power for other. well 1st i would like to tell you that it's not already it was not ready you're not signed that law because the war was basically bullshit at the referendum last year by serving your servant 1st and of the people who bought in the board i think the situation is misrepresented in a lot of the western media 1st they say that he has been running russia since the year although that's not exactly true because in 2008 yes he handed the reins of

power at the museum and made him and then you for example decided not. going to dusty un role in 2011 which it was alternately holster that decision or your boss made a video of you know his way through and the result was they're going to conduct it was murder in a very very earliest you know and even this year or so. it was all been there all stories that's what happened ok the other problem is that in 2000 the star in the government you're always you may not be around you about listen to thousands i think that western media and their decision has not announced his decision to run again and i'm not sure if people around the stars and not the. marker if you look at the pattern of the tenure of the president president putting

form to 1000 you get that sense of someone who is determined to further just extend the term limits. that the term limits again and again could this be an indication that the man is to have some sense of immunity against any prosecution of herewith ties. atheists indie bands indie bands of. which kind of sorts and national groups. can feel and can be received better i think the better sept shouldn are broke and the russia is the friend benteke ali the law can now can brought back to him for future. prosecution for the act years the e.u. will do as president. you know i agree.

we might go to league in moscow sunburns there is a different and better section of the few who are both bloody. and russia and in the rest of the war there and the same is about that are not russian affairs but i think we can agree that after so many years in a bar where there is a growing. feeling and the size of share a the russians or shiite the 2 are the talk. part of the government especially in these moment we should get gone and he is suffering and when the economy suffers you know the bully to guard the school board in elysium asia start to crumble illegal be even better for a big man and be get bullied the gullah meeting but in the national level light was emitted alexander if you go back to 2008 putting had different choices he opted for

placing a putting a placeholder medvedev and then coming back after 4 years this time he decided for a different tactic which is basically to reset the clock on the time limits and start from scratch which is going to be another 12 years how do you see the this move by by putting. well actually i should say that that was looking quite weird because if we go back to january 2021 day one of the authorities and now it's this constitutional reform everything was looking like something big is upcoming but then it all ended up in in this reset which looked pretty pretty stupid. so everybody expected him to stay in power of course because he's a typical dictator he's now in power for more than 20 years and we cannot i cannot

with all due respect i can i am to grieve with me 3 that i made it if it was a real president i mean this is ridiculous for all the russians who leave here. so . buton was planning to stay in power but at the very beginning of the 2020 look like he was planning probably to staying power by some other tactic but suddenly it appeared that he just. decided to reset the constitution and he didn't even use referendum for this because it was not referendum it was the fake voting that was cold a national nationwide voting which has nothing in common with the real procedure of referendum so i think the blend was probably a little bit different and then something probably happened then they change the mind or probably would just don't know something because now it looks like well ok now no one is surprised that he wants to stay in power forever i don't think he's

going to be alive by 2036 but anyway he's he's access to the medicine i'm like the rest of the russians is of course very very very high and he's got all the possibilities to stay alive for a very long time right of time dimiter how do you respond to what extend has been basically saying about the fact that the last is both was manipulated for a political way the and that putin has always been holding this desire to stay impala for as long as it takes. well speaking about staying in power for ever a lot around our. daughter biden who is now the president of the united states and who is 78 which is 11 years older than john. basically ert you said that you would run it would try to run for the 2nd time when it's done twice which would stand at the age of $86.00 at the end of that term today by the way

dimiter the debate is not about the age the debate is about it wasn't a democracy like of the u.s. he has the rank of all to go for 2 terms. i think. the last and brightest thing that was the staying power is a just fix i don't think this is true but by the press is wait you will state where exactly the same. that is like a response to the war. i think well it was the united states in terms of your more christian the derby and the fact that in the. end except the set was right when you said that issued it this procedure that way since 2000 when he was no older around the whole of the war all that referendum but 100 percent of the eligible wallace in russia had the right to come to that you know the voting

stations i came to know all my family. and the majority shouldn't rule her the sat or change the confusion that was included there was not all of it then you you know the new rules or elect the president basically is going to be an exception all the other brands will not be able to stay for more than 2 terms but also there are many other things which people support such as you know defining the family as a union or man and woman which makes it possible to come back one sex marriage later on will go in russia and other majesty which are supposed to protect russian from western influences they were supported by the people and. going to see it was i think part of the. you know i gingerly started to see that the majority of russians doesn't care that. i know that there is

a certain part of the population that doesn't force the majority of the. select this is exactly the same narrative that the president has been using which is basically over 78 percent of the people voted for the why. ranging. package of reforms and therefore this is a legitimate task which is i'm doing staying for powerful for as long as it takes because i have the right now for 2 consecutive 6 term 10 years. yes. i i don't want to judge a. referendum on was you know conduct the we respect of the laws or not you know. every government really. referendum us. this kind of dynamic one thing is are they. all doing. even diplomacy shown to be at the top of the russian what have you got

a system for another 15 years maybe if even if we run in the future sincerely i am not sure the 9 to 100 percent that it will be. the d.c. except. and if these then it can be nothing will sign for russian political season because maybe it will mean that the already gussie's them in a stalemate and all the piracy dog bark where he's not able and won't be able to find x. us s. or so find a mule if we end these contests we've all seen them in a kind of

a concept or about the solution and i don't rock and of course i think that if these add it will be there a bit the show or something that russia in easy story knows very well it is the asian beauty of a suspect near shown going to brezhnev a used alexander on the other hand it could be an indication that the opposition fragmented could not put together a new plot for a candidate that could have a chance to challenge putting in the past challenge the right to go for the vote in 2020 and tell people it's about time to reverse that trend was the opposition. well basically in jail the answer is very simple so everyone who poses a threat at this border less they go to jail immediately when i was

a candidate in 2019 in elections to moscow seated human which is well they i mean this is a just a regional level not a federal one. we didn't expect to. be harsh reaction from the authorities still as long as we started to pose a threat to the candidates from the program and party we all went to jail i had to spend 28 days in jail i was released then but some of them some of the people are still in jail so i was just lucky lucky one and alexei navalny is differently a figure who can. who can challenge of love him and putin but they i mean everyone 1st of all the past old unnecessary loss to poots anyone who they of whom they don't like into jail so they pass every they have already passed every law to make any voting totally controllable i mean.

even if the pro they are being exposed they just don't care about them so we cannot even say anything about the majority or not majority supporting constitutional reform or putin because there is no free and fair elections so this is absolutely irrelevant saying that we are the majority and you are not going majority because we do not know that ok i didn't say you were talking about the what some perception to the political life in russia now or not all shit about those who voted for full full full the changes last in full for the full put in to stay impala what was the what was that justification was it political stability was it economy all of the facts for many of the shows that this is the most powerful man that guaranteed to bit today and turn the chapter of yeltsin. oh well oh let me just remind you of that took a step down or the people who bought the roll on. you know the new jane gist of

the constitution that of the people want it to be and there was even run a region where these people want a majority and no one will be in jail for that and this will be a nexus for them what was he to do last year never in a position going to what into the. wood and then live where anyone was oh and you people have been doing with what you knew all along authorized read it you know read people organize know in order write some of them at the top in game or you get that power but he never done that. bought i ever say that you know or not us but he did grow up edition the non-gaming. are not in there and again there are a lot of people like you would be willing to meet another they're all great and all have their artists which are what great and which sometimes when

a local election. why people voted or extended oh well let me just give you a fact we didn't think of the terrible war in chechnya ended. i mean we're going to be faced on a paper with a huge asian government but there is no war that's mary this is something the last 2 g. when there are as you've been. given lead to a change now there is no war that. was was the economic stimulation because. during its 1st 2 terms russia was growing the rate could lead the rules slow down and. because of their international financial and economic crisis remember the greatest of all of them. russia basically want the war in syria should it union not we need

a new war i wouldn't be i was really i wouldn't qualify as such because syria mains divide destroyed almost quarter of a 1000000 of people killed it's a nightmare scenario i wouldn't qualify that as a success anyway well what if i just as a success for syria because of course the terrible she will war with war and our wants but it should be to norm and michael or in august russia and iran are no longer on it was invited but their their their car gets seized in syria it can't be use to you i see your point yes i see where you're i mean like. it's you know obvious is saying that this is someone who has restore some sense of dignity to the to the to the russian people but that's it remains to be seen because there's a divide as far as that perception is concerned marco in china in egypt and in

other parts of the world we've seen leaders trying to remove the term limits and extend their powers is this the rise of thora tarion nism in the world. it is small mainly in some parts of the war there is these the strand there and they think that. keeping. these very strong belief very borrower's for ios in the air is. kind of try or was bobby's a show in made trouble some time in this sort of government we are leaving you know even though you know war we should there are may be conflicts in very dangerous sorry ass and very sensitive areas of the world like you said we believe we are indeed syria we are facing. me god got me dying in

and then parts of the war we have to eat that these strong belief that she has a very dark the economic goals and he is kind of the contract between out i'd be far worse and see the cent and the contract these economic studies asian and well you know exchange of the stronger leadership of a ruler and i don't know if it's we last in the future or got out ok alexander 2012 i've seen the we saw the opposition building momentum and when it was opposed to. to that or for that pave the way for putting to stage a political comeback you spoke about the crackdown on the opposition what what what does this leave the opposition in the future are they likely to reinvent themselves try to deal with an ever changing political landscape in russia well you know if

comparing to 2012 of course. there were a lot more possibilities legal possibilities for the. different candidates to be at least registered to be to take part in elections now with dates in most cases you're not being even registered a few cases yeah in some cases some of the candidates may be registered if their reason now competition with the program and party some of the constituencies are being fried just to make the candidates from another parties which are also programs unlike just rush or a communist party they sometimes just do not take part in those elections in order to make to give a chance for the for those. fake opposition to become to become devotees or something in those regions sometimes. real opposition when just because united

russia does not control the situation there and they say just to the rest of the candidates that your problem so this is the only possibility left legal possibility left to take part in elections ok that's why saying that there resteal opposition it's totally incorrect the reason is long as you try to unite i mean you immediately have problems in russia you may have searches just for nothing just to confiscate everything didn't say less than 30 seconds if you don't mind this is someone just for the sake of thinking in pa what changes the basic law of process however comes in that would just be tempted to do the same thing and again and again would end up with a brain a opac political system in russia just because someone finds his thing impala and definitely. i don't think so i think one relations with the west and they will rule because of the west will come yes there will be granted you will lose and what choices were russians at this time was already conned ok lets see
