Transit power

Political scientist Kirill Rogov considered that Putin’s message signals a transition to a “party dictatorship” like the Chinese one.

Some commentators call this model Kazakhstan.

“Putin’s constitutional ideas clearly indicate that the Kazakhstan version is still being considered as the basic model of“ transit of power, ” believes political scientist Grigory Golosov.

“When Putin announced in 2011 that he was returning, optimists on Facebook calculated how old they would be in 2018, realists how many in 2024, and pessimists muttered dejectedly that there would never be anything to anyone – and were right! ” – exclaims Yuri Saprykin.

Many political scientists agree that the declared change in the balance of power is evidence that Putin is preparing to change his position, but they argue about which one.

“Vladimir Putin is still leaving, reducing the possibilities of the next president. At the same time, the parliament and the State Council are strengthening, where the president may go. Canceling the priority of international law can lead to a further decrease in the quality of justice, but we need to see what it takes,” analyzes the situation Dean of the Department of International Relations and Political Studies, RANEPA Evgeny Roshchin.

“The logical consequence of moving along this path could be the adoption of a new Constitution of the country, free from the rudiments of the era of the” dashing nineties “in the form of declarations of the rights and freedoms of citizens, norms on the priority of Russia’s international obligations over domestic law and other liberal provisions,” quotes Professor Gelman, European University at St. Petersburg, has written his own article a decade ago.

“The parameters for the transit of power, in which Putin leaves, but not to the side, but somewhere to the new upper compartment of the complicated system, are set, and to build it, it is not necessary to wait 2024 now,” summarizes publicist Alexander Baunov.

“Is politics back?”

A stormy reaction was triggered by the announcement of the resignation of the government and the ensuing announcement that Putin proposed taking the post of Prime Minister of Russia to the head of the Federal Tax Service, Mikhail Mishustin.

“To whom did stagnation appear there?” – wondered TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov.
