In Russia, the updated Constitution came into force with amendments approved by the all-Russian vote. The corresponding decree was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin the day before..

The updated text of the Constitution of Russia is published on the official portal of legal information.

One of the points of change was the norm that the presidential terms of Vladimir Putin are no longer taken into account. This will allow him to run for two more elections and remain in power until 2036.. He will also receive lifetime immunity..

Putin allowed this option if the Constitutional Court does not consider it to be contrary to the provisions of the fundamental law. After the adoption of the relevant bill in March by both houses of parliament, the document was sent to the Constitutional Court, which issued a conclusion on the conformity of the proposed amendments.

In total, 206 amendments were made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
