Vladimir Putin Says An Unlimited Presidential Term In Russia Would Be ‘very Disturbing’

(MOSCOW) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday that he opposes the idea of an unlimited term in office for the country’s leader like the system that existed in the Soviet Union. Putin’s comment at a meeting with World War II veterans in St. Petersburg came days after he called for constitutional changes that could help him remain in power once his presidential term ends in 2024. When a veteran at Saturday’s meeting proposed not having term limits for Russia’s president, Putin responded that “it would be very disturbing to return to the situation of the mid-1980s, with the leaders of the state, one by one, staying in power until the end of their days.” There has been uncertainty about Russia’s future political course since Putin suggested in his Wednesday state-of-the-nation address amending the constitution to allow lawmakers to name prime ministers and Cabinet members.

Denver Post, Tuesday - 10/01/2024 - 07:11 PM
Sam Bassett’s days of being a goofy kid on and off the soccer field are just about over. The years of work put in by the University of Denver men’s soccer midfielder are coming to fruition. Now it’s all business — a notion solidified by his choice to forego the 2024 MLS SuperDraft. Voted a second-team All-American last year as a junior after leading a battered team to a 12-3-5 record (7-0-1 Summit League) and the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Littleton native is destined for the next level.

By Melissa Clark, The New York Times Recipe naming conventions come and go. For the baroque excess of every Beany Leeky Greens with Greeky Rampy Beans, there’s a minimalist roast chicken or tomato salad to remind us that less is often very much enough. Even techniques have aliases. One cook’s chicken fricassee is another’s braise, and yet another’s chicken stew.
