What Would Happen in Russia if Vladimir Putin Dies in Office

With the conflict in Ukraine seemingly not reaching an end anytime soon, it feels like most of the world is waiting on the same thing to happen: the removal of Vladimir Putin from his position as the president of Russia. But would that really solve all the problems, and what would happen if Putin met his end while still being in office?

Since Putin just signed a law that would allow him to stay in office until 2036 and Russian elections have always been filled with irregularities, there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that Putin will stay president for another 14 years unless someone actively does something about it.

Health Problems

If Putin had health problems, we’d never know about it. The Russians go to great lengths to make sure that all details regarding the medical situation of the president remains a secret. Considering their history in this topic, official news will probably always be that Putin has a clean bill of health until the day he dies.
