Why is the 72-year-old Putin still a **? Russia in 2024 Putin is 72 years old, and in his 30 years of political life, 20 years as **, 4 years as prime minister is already a symbol of the whole of Russia. For Putin, he cannot retire yet. When asked how many more terms he would have to serve, Putin simply shrugged his shoulders and told reporters that this is not something you should be aware of.
But a long time ago, Putin made it clear that he wanted to retire prematurely, and he tried to give his place to Medvedev, but Medvedev let him down. Then he took over the power of Russia again and became a ** again. But so far, Putin's desire to hand over power is still very far away. Russia has a very huge power, and basically has a complete monopoly on the entire Russian voice in terms of domestic and foreign affairs.
It is precisely because of this super ** system that the outside world has a lot of discussions about Putin. But Putin knows that such a system has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that through the best decision-making, the country can concentrate its strength, but the bad side is that once the first power will be in a huge vacuum. In Putin's more than 20 years in power, Russia has been an old partner in governing the country with Putin, and who will they choose to be the leader after Putin leaves, this is also a big question.
Now Russia is in a very complicated state, because they are not monolithic, even the United Russia party is divided into many factions, Putin and Medvedev, who came from St. Petersburg, became the St. Petersburg faction, behind them is the capital from St. Petersburg, and the old school with Putin as the main development. The other faction is the Muscovite faction, founded by Boris Yeltsin and now in the hands of a group of young people, who are the old men of Moscow's political ecology and the political legacy left behind after the transfer of power between Yeltsin and Putin.
These people are largely a burden to Putin, but more often than not, they are Putin. and so on the basis of the run, behind them are many oligarchs and Moscow natives in Russia. The last faction is the powerful ministries led by Shoigu and Gerasimov, who control Russia's violent apparatus such as the military and police, as well as disaster relief and other departments. Although they and the St. Petersburg faction are ostensibly cooperative, once there is no check and balance from Putin, this faction will be dominant.
