Putin Forever? Analysing the Russian Elections
Update: 2024-03-20
Description
With Vladimir Putin claiming yet another victory in Russia’s recent national elections, we examine his tenure and what the future has in store.
While Putin’s election victory was always a certainty, such political exercises involving mass engagement efforts are complex and potentially risky operations for authoritarian leaders.
At the age of 71, and with a hold on power now lasting until at least 2030, how is Putin trying to justify his continued leadership? And how can a successor emerge in this stifling political environment? In this episode, host Neil Melvin asks Professor David Lewis from the University of Exeter to answer these questions.
