“You know, I’ll say absolutely frankly now: if this doesn’t happen, in two years, I know this from my own experience, instead of normal, rhythmic work at very many levels of power, yawing in search of possible successors will begin,” RIA Novosti quotes him .
The President emphasized that it is necessary to work, not to seek successors.
Also, Putin did not rule out that if the relevant amendments to the Constitution were adopted, he would again run for president.
The all-Russian vote on constitutional amendments is scheduled for July 1. The co-chair of the working group Pavel Krasheninnikov said that this day will be declared a day off.
