The entire government of Russia resigned recently after the constitutional amendments announced by its President, Vladimir Putin. Putin announced the amendments on January 15, 2020, and they were approved by a referendum on July 1, 2020.
The amendments included a number of changes that would give Putin more power, including the ability to run for president again after his current term expires in 2024. The amendments also weakened the powers of the prime minister and the parliament.
The resignation of the government was seen as a way to ensure that Putin would be able to implement the constitutional amendments without any opposition. The new government, which was appointed by Putin, is made up of his close allies.
The resignation of the government has been met with criticism from some who see it as a power grab by Putin. However, Putin's supporters argue that the amendments are necessary to strengthen Russia's democracy.
It remains to be seen how the constitutional amendments will affect Russia in the long term. However, the resignation of the government has certainly raised concerns about the future of democracy in the country.
