💨 Abstract

Russian President Vladimir Putin, the longest-serving Kremlin leader since Josef Stalin, hinted at a potential succession contest and expressed the belief that the people should have a choice among several candidates. He emphasized that the ultimate choice remains with the Russian people. No clear successor to Putin is evident under the Russian constitution, with the prime minister, Mikhail Mishustin, set to assume presidential powers if the president is unable to discharge his duties.
