This market will resolve to “Yes” if Vladimir Putin ceases to be President of Russia for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Vladimir Putin's resignation/removal before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect. If the specified individual is detained, effectively removed from the specified position, or otherwise permanently prevented from fulfilling the duties of the specified position within this market’s timeframe, it will qualify for a “Yes” resolution. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Vladimir Putin and the government of Russia; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Vladimir Putin's presidential term, secured through the 2024 election and constitutional amendments resetting term limits, extends until 2030, with no scheduled elections or transitions before December 31, 2026. Recent official actions, including signing a federal law on critical information infrastructure protection on April 9, underscore his continued leadership amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict now entering its fourth year. A March 10 video of Putin coughing during a speech fueled recurring health rumors, but the Kremlin dismissed it by removing the footage, and no verified medical issues or elite challenges have emerged. Trader consensus at 89.5% "No" reflects this stability, though sudden health events, coup attempts, or war escalations could shift odds.
