Russian government resigns

Russian government resigns: Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the entire Russian government is stepping down after President Vladimir Putin proposed constitutional reforms that would weaken his successor.

Political consequences: The move could signal a power shift as the president will not be able to reject parliament's choice of prime minister, deputy prime ministers and federal ministers in future administrations.

Putin maneuvering for future power? Putin’s critics have suggested that he is considering various scenarios to remain in power after 2024, including the option of becoming prime minister with extended powers.


Vlad is just trying to make his pal Donnie jealous.


I have to say, I don't understand this. By entire government, does that mean all of the elected officials at the national level?

This seems like a big deal.

 From what I’ve read it’s a big deal, but because I’ve been knee deep in the Parnas thing and work and panto, I’m a little behind.


Resignation beats defenestration.
