“You know, I have so tied my whole fate with the fate of the country, for me there is no other, more significant task in my life than strengthening Russia,” his words are quoted on the Kremlin's website.
Putin noted that he would be ready to support a person with constructive views, who will be able to put "on the altar of the Fatherland not just years, but his whole life."
In June 2020, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that Putin had laid down a system for the development of Russia, which will work even after the end of his presidential term.
