The future prospects of any strong-hand leader boil down to two choices: guaranteed safe passage into civilian life with legal protection, or eternal rule. Vladimir Putin, who next January will complete 21 years at the head of Russia, has created a situation where he has chosen one or the other. Perpetual rumors of the Russian leader's departure from the Kremlin increased last week, when the country's parliament passed a law granting immunity from investigation or prosecution to former presidents and their families. However, speculation about whether this move signals an early "retirement" for Putin ignores another law, passed this year, that allows the 68-year-old president to rule for another 12 years after this term ends - i his fourth – in the year 2024.
Tatiana Stanovaja, a Russian political Cambodia WhatsApp Number Data analyst, thinks that while it is natural for Putin to seek the comfort of legal protection if his presidency ends, there is no connection between the new law and his potential retirement plans.

The two parts of the law – introduced with amendments to the Constitution proposed by Putin in the spring – are the epitome of ambiguity.
The Russian leader likes to give the same responsibilities to two people in 2 different positions; he often delegates tasks to competing ministries or agencies. Such an approach gives him flexibility and options if individuals or initiatives fail, while causing those around him to focus more on fighting each other than conspiring against him. And the two laws, which protect him when he is outside the Kremlin, while simultaneously allowing him to stay there, fit this approach very well. Currently, according to analysts, the use of the second lever seems more likely than the first. Predicting when Putin will retire or to whom he may transfer power is no longer attractive in Moscow. His supporters reject the premise of the discussion, while critics have been wrong many times in their guesses.
