And a lot of other things, including making Belief in God official government doctrine....with the Orthodox Churn being a official state religion in everything but name.

Also love the outlawing of anything negative about Russia In World War 2, ie any criticism of the way the war was conducted will be forbidden. THis sems to be an obsession of Putin's. One of his first acts as President was to clamp strict restrictions on access to the Military Archives..almost impossible for scholars who are not Russian to get acess nowdays, ending the short period when they were open to all, and shed a lot of new light on the Russian Campains in World War 2..particulary how bungling by not only Uncle Joe but Russian generals cost millions of lives.


I guess the return of the Black Hundreds is next.

Could be worse. Russia could be ruled by the unparalleled totalitarian bigot of our times.

Putin is purported to have Asperbergers. I don't know how true it is but it could explain some things.

The Czar has returned in everything but name.
Maybe that is next. Czar Vladmir the First of the Putin Dynasty.

Putin is guaranteed to be an atheist.

Not according to Wikipedia:

Putin is Russian Orthodox. His mother was a devoted Christian believer who attended the Russian Orthodox Church, while his father was an atheist.[511][512] Though his mother kept no icons at home, she attended church regularly, despite government persecution of her religion at that time. His mother secretly baptized him as a baby, and she regularly took him to services.[20]

According to Putin, his religious awakening began after a serious car crash involving his wife in 1993, and a life-threatening fire that burned down their dacha in August 1996.[512] Shortly before an official visit to Israel, Putin's mother gave him his baptismal cross, telling him to get it blessed. Putin states, "I did as she said and then put the cross around my neck. I have never taken it off since."[20] When asked in 2007 whether he believes in God, he responded, "... There are things I believe, which should not in my position, at least, be shared with the public at large for everybody's consumption because that would look like self-advertising or a political striptease."[513] Putin's rumoured confessor is Russian Orthodox Bishop Tikhon Shevkunov.

I'd guess, however, that his primary religion is the same as Trump's: Worship of himself.

We know that he's a big fan of Putin's if that's what you mean.

Vladimir Putin has moved to cement his hold on power in Russia beyond the middle of the decade, backing a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow him to seek another two terms in the Kremlin.

The Russian president is required by the constitution to step down in 2024, and there have been months of conjecture about how he could stay in power beyond then, or at least ensure a safe transition for himself.

In the end, the puzzle was resolved in an afternoon, in a series of choreographed political steps that took just over three hours and could result in Putin staying on as president until 2036.

...

“In principle, this option would be possible,” he said at the end of a half-hour speech. “But on one condition – if the constitutional court gives an official ruling that such an amendment would not contradict the principles and main provisions of the constitution.”

He also said the move would have to be approved by the public in a referendum next month.

It was a significant, if not surprising, about-face for the president, who has been signalling publicly in recent months that he could leave the presidency. In January, he told a veteran of the second world war that he was worried about a return to the 80s, when Kremlin leaders “stayed in power until the end of their days” and did not provide for a transition of power.

On Tuesday, he walked back that statement, saying that modern Russia’s elections made it impossible to return to a Soviet-style procession of leaders-for-life. “I won’t hide that I was wrong,” he said. “It was an incorrect statement because during the Soviet Union there were no elections.”

Don't worry, even at over 80 years old botox and plastic surgery can make a Russian resemble something like a youthful person. The Russian people won't even realize his age.
