Russia passes bill allowing Putin to stay in power past 2024

Putin has ruled Russia for more than 20 years. After serving for two consecutive four-year terms, Putin shifted to the prime minister's seat in 2008, with his ally Dmitry Medvedev becoming a placeholder president. The length of the presidency was extended to six years under Medvedev, and in 2012 Putin returned as president. In 2018, he was reelected for another six years.
