How long does Putin have left in office?
 
I was wondering how much longer President Putin has left in office. I thought maybe two more years than Obama, right?

Then I found this old article of three years ago before his last election. The man we have all grown to love or hate may wind up serving till 2024.:o
Shock, uh?

And even if voters do not endorse Putin, his victory is likely to be assured with the help of regional officials loyal to his United Russia party. Having extended the presidential term of office from four to six years,

Putin would remain in charge until 2018 – or 2024, if he won a second term.

By then, Putin would have chalked up 24 years in power out of the 33 years since the collapse of Communism thanks to his previous terms as president and prime minister.

I think Putin will be in office for life.

Most likely and I wish him long life. He may not be most desirable man for the post (from foreign neighbours' point of view), but atleast he is reasonably predictable.

Until the heat death of the universe I'd say...

As long as Erdoghan :haha:

He has just declared democratic elections to be abandoned and made Turkey a what he calls "presidential state". Dictatorship is a better word.
He says the turkish people wanted it that way, since they elected him. But first he did not have this on his program before the last election, and then elections in Turkey tend to be "not supervised", to say at least.

Plenty of those around these days, some are heads of military, some are semi-elected, others are royalty. Some are all three. :haha:

With all the advances in medical care we all know the answer:

But on the serious note - as long as he gets elected. And he would get elected because he is genuinely popular. Chances are that he would step down after 2018 or 2024, depending on the availiability of successor. This is because you can't run three times in a row.

That picture is brilliant. :up:
I could actually sort of picture Putin as the God-Emperor of all Mankind.
But that would be heresy, and heresy requires purging.

Only one thing wrong with the picture.
That eagle on the right should be double-headed :O:
