Putin's Plan to Stay in Power - TIME
It has long been assumed that President Vladimir Putin, whose term of office expires next March, would prefer to remain in power. But how he might try to do so while operating within the terms of Russia's constitution has been a source of endless speculation. On Monday, Putin provided what may be the answer, when he announced that he would head the list of the ruling United Russia (UR) party in December's election to the Duma, the lower house of Russia's parliament. While it may sound like a step down for an executive president to run for a seat in a legislature that has largely served as a rubber stamp to his policies, the move suggests that Putin may opt to reorganize the Russian power structure — if he can't hold on to the seat of power, he could always shift power to a seat he can hold.

Constitutional change for the fable of stable power as those power mongers keep on keeping on despite those who demand accountability and rights and justice!The suggestion seemed to confirm that President Vladimir V. Putin plans to hold on to the power he has accrued.
