Putin signs law allowing him to stay in power for another 15 years after ruling over Russia for 2
decadesRussian President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a law that opened the door for him to stay in power until 2036.
The Russian president's term ends in 2024, and he can now run for two more six-year terms.
This move, made possible by a referendum on constitutional amendments in 2020, means Putin could surpass Joseph Stalin as the longest-reigning leader in Russia since Peter the Great, according to The Moscow Times.
Putin's critics and opponents have said he's effectively become "president for life" via this legislation.
