Putin to Remain Russian President Till 2036
Russians have granted President Vladimir Putin the right to stay in power until 2036 by voting overwhelmingly for constitutional changes.
Official results published on Thursday, after 99.9 percent of ballots had been counted, showed that Putin, who has ruled Russia for more than 20 years either in capacity of a president or prime minister, had won the right to run after the current term ends in 2024 for two more six-year terms.
On 24 June, Putin and leaders of foreign nations witnessed a grand and colourful military parade at the famous Red Square in Moscow.
Russia ushered in the belated 75th diamond anniversary of ‘Victory Day‘, which was postponed from 9 May owing to COVID-19 outbreak.
Every year, Russia and former Soviet Union republics commemorate the sacred day by laying wreaths and flowers as a tribute to the heroes, many of them unknown, who paid with their lives to earn the victory and defend freedom for all.
