He believes that Putin is "simply sick of power and is doing everything to rule forever, and there is no such evil that he will not commit to prolong his power."
Putin was first elected president in 2000 after the resignation of Russia's first president, Boris Yeltsin. Since then, he has become an almost constant ruler of the state. In 2008, he was temporarily replaced by the current Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmytro Medvedev. In 2012, Putin regained the post of president.
