After Beslan (the elementary school massacre), Putin took revenge by ending the popular election of provincial governors, arrogating to himself the power to appoint them. Maybe this time, he’ll take revenge by appointing himself President-for-Life.
Putin used his new powers to appoint his corrupt gangster friends as governors, such as the oligarch Roman Abramovich. Putin only went after a handful of criminal oligarchs because he is in cahoots with rival oligarchs! Putin has gotten filthy rich stealing from the Russia people.
