      Yeah. Then Putin took back the role of President using the argument that Medvedev being President allowed Putin to run again despite term limits.

      Medvedev became Prime Minister, then everyone in Parliament resigned all at the exact same time, leaving the President as the only one running the place.

      Putin rewrote the Constitution and that was the end of that.

      Lets all remember putler was a healthy man in his 50’s at the time. Not a 82 year old bag of McDonalds. The putin long con isn’t really there due to cheeseburgers and coronary events. Inshallah.
