The president touched on this topic during his communication with veterans of the Great Patriotic War in St. Petersburg.
"It would be very alarming to return to the situation in the mid-80s, when the leaders of the state, one by one, staying in power until the end of their days," Putin quotes TASS.
He noted his understanding that the term of the head of state in power is associated with stability among many people.
At the end of December 2019, during a major press conference, Putin admitted that the constitution could cancel the “consecutive” clause regarding presidential terms.
