The nullification of Putin's terms.

Abolishing Putin's Presidential Terms: Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Vladimir Putin instigated modifications to the Russian Constitution that permitted him to annul his presidential terms, setting the stage for his potential continuation in power until 2036. This maneuver incited extensive protests and backlash both domestically and internationally. He enacted legislation allowing for a potential presidency until 2036, based on amendments he introduced himself. The suggestion to nullify his terms emerged unexpectedly from deputy Valentina Tereshkova on March 10, 2020. With the new amendments, Putin's terms served prior to their enactment will be disregarded, enabling him to run for president again in both 2024 and 2030.
