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.Trader consensus heavily favors Vladimir Putin remaining as President of Russia through 2026, reflecting his constitutional term extending to 2030—bolstered by 2020 amendments allowing potential rule until 2036—and firm control over key institutions amid no verified challenges to his leadership. Recent speculation around health issues, including a deleted March video of Putin coughing during a speech and a brief February public absence, has fueled unconfirmed rumors of Parkinson's or other ailments, but Kremlin denials and his continued public appearances have dismissed these as unsubstantiated. Mounting Ukraine war setbacks, internet blackouts in late March, and a pro-Putin blogger's abrupt March 20 call for regime change signal internal pressures and coup whispers, yet analysts assess the regime as stable, far from collapse, with no clear successor or palace revolt materializing. Late-breaking health events, elite defections, or military reversals could shift odds, but structural barriers remain high.
