She is surprised when I report that it is not being discussed here.


It's not shocking surprising news like it used to be years ago. Putin making moves to extend his rule is expected.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

The question of succession does, however, present Putin with a puzzle that he has only begun to solve. The issue has bedeviled Russian leaders for centuries. There is an obvious risk in staying around for too long. Many of Russia’s tsars would have done well to have taken early retirement, before they built up powerful enemies who had them strangled (Paul I), bombed (Alexander II), or shot, bayoneted, and doused with acid (Nicholas II). The Soviets, perhaps surprisingly, had a softer touch, with deposed leaders generally allowed to retire in Siberian obscurity.

In the Soviet period, it was the ousted deputy leaders, men who came too close to taking power, who were often killed. The long-serving secret police chief Lavrenty Beria was shot through the forehead in 1953, while Joseph Stalin’s rival Leon Trotsky was felled with an ice pick wedged two inches deep in his skull. More recently, the assassination of former Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov on the street outside the Kremlin in 2015 provided a sobering reminder that political violence related to succession questions is not safely confined to the history books.

Staying around "until death do us part" has been shown to be a fatal plan.

Khrushchev lived a (stilted) life after being deposed   Don't remember any others having any life after leadership.   

As a side note:  Am enjoying the author Grover Furr.   He writes about how Khrushchev's secret speech that detailed Stalin's crimes of terror ..... was completely made up, fictitious, a lie .... and that this speech, more than any other event in history, changed the outlook on communism first by the Soviet Politburo and then, the world.  Typical Soviet method of doing business .... lie, even when you don't have to.

Don't think it was you, but several other 'experts' here said putin was on his way, was going to be forced out, etc etc.   
Of course none of that has happened.

It's almost a given now. Putin gets law approved so he can run Russia till 2036. The question is will Putin accept or retire?  :rolleyes:
