Putin issued a State of the Union address to both houses of parliament on the same day, proposing a major amendment to the constitution and giving the State Duma the responsibility to form the cabinet. In his State of the Union address, Putin also announced that the conditions for presidential candidates should be modified. In the future, only Russian citizens who have lived in Russia for at least 25 years will be eligible to run for president of Russia. The previous limit was 10 years. Moreover, presidential candidates cannot have the nationality and residency of other countries. “I know that in our society there is a discussion of constitutional provisions that the same person serving as President of the Russian Federation cannot exceed two consecutive terms. I don’t think this is a matter of principle, but I agree.” >

Russian politicsAfter the news of the government’s resignation was released, it made everyone suddenly feel surprised. But Putin was still calm, he approved the Russian government’s application for resignation. He said, “In the near future, I will meet with every member of the government, and now I ask them to keep their posts and perform their duties.” He also stated that he intends to increase the post of Vice-President of the Russian Federal Security Council and proposes Medvedev to take up the post. He also said that the chairman of the Russian Federation Security Conference is the president.

“This is the big news that has been prepared for a long time”

Russian political academia has commented on the resignation of the entire Russian government. Alexei Zukin, a senior lecturer and political expert at the Moscow Institute of International Relations, believes that this is not an improvisation by the Russian authorities. From the perspective of accelerating the promotion of national projects, the candidate team of new members of the Russian government is likely to be selected long ago . He further explained that for a long time the members of the Russian Cabinet have been criticized for their work, and that their voices are not good enough to complete large national projects. It can be said that the timing of the Russian government’s announcement of all resignations was well thought out, and it echoed the call for rectifying administrative institutions and more effectively advancing the implementation of large national projects.

Dmitry Abuzalov, head of the Russian Strategic Information Center, believes that the Cabinet has announced his resignation as soon as the State of the Union President ’s State of the Union address has been issued. This is a big news that has been prepared for a long time. From all indications, the plan is well-prepared and not accidentally announced.

Russian Liberal Democratic Party leader Zhirinovsky appears calm. He said on his social media account that this is a standard procedure. The Medvedev cabinet works well, and a new cabinet will soon be created. And will complete new tasks. The country will not be upset by this.

Russia ’s leader Zyuganov expressed his joy at the resignation of the Russian government. He told the Russian media that today (15th) good news, I once told the president that I do not agree with the policy of Medvedev.

What is the biggest challenge facing the Putin regime at this time

Abu Zalov believes that although the Russian internal affairs situation is relatively stable and the United Russia Party holds a majority seat in the Duma, the prestige of the Russian government is not high. With the United Russia ’s dominant position in parliament in recent years, Decisions were unpopular, including reforms to the retirement system. This year’s State of the Union President’s State of the Union address was published so early, and a cabinet resignation aimed at changing the political battlefield occurred, in order to remove the negative energy of the previous administration.

According to sources close to the president’s office, the Kommersant said that the resignation of the Russian government may be related to some controversy that occurred while drafting the State of the Union address. President Putin put forward opinions on socio-economic development at that time, and to this end, a large amount of financial funds must be allocated from the budget. The finance and economic departments of the Russian government oppose excessive spending.

However, sources within the Russian government have said that most people have not heard the wind in advance about changing the prime minister. Mutko, who is acting Deputy Prime Minister, believes that the resignation of the entire government “is a huge challenge and an echo of change. A new government with a new perspective and perspective should emerge.”

The resignation of the Russian government will also provide Putin with an opportunity to exchange government officials. For the Putin regime, the biggest challenge currently facing is the social dissatisfaction caused by Russia’s continued economic downturn and declining people’s income. Putin vowed to increase the income of the people, on the premise that social and economic development must be achieved. Putin recently instructed the head of the Russian Federation’s Audit Office, Kudrin, to be responsible for further monitoring the implementation of the federal budget. Since the second half of last year, Russian Federal Minister of Finance Siluanov has been criticized by Kudrin for not spending 10 trillion rubles of federal budget funds on major national projects.

Revision of the constitution may be related to the future of Putin’s term

Some analysts pointed out that the real reason for the resignation of the Russian Prime Minister and his cabinet is related to the whereabouts of Putin’s current term after 2024. In recent months, people in Russian politics and official media have said that Putin will not run for re-election. So will Putin retire by then? As a strong leader with a huge political burden, it is difficult to imagine that he will withdraw from the political arena in 2024. At a press conference held at the end of 2019, Putin made it clear when answering questions from reporters that he would not rule out amending the constitution.

From Putin’s more detailed set of presidential candidates in the State of the Union addressJudging from the harsh conditions, the Putin regime is wary of attempts by Western countries led by the United States to provoke a color revolution or even a violent revolution in Russia. Opposition demonstrations took place in Moscow last summer, and Russian officials accused external forces of interfering in Russia’s internal affairs. There are indications that the Putin regime is taking steps to prevent Western designated agents from running for Russia’s president or seizing power by launching a violent revolution.

According to the latest news, Russian President Putin nominated him as the next prime minister after meeting with the head of the Federal Revenue Service, Mikhail Misukkin. This nomination will be submitted to the State Duma for consideration.
