The reforms — expected to sail through the lower house State Duma in the key second reading — will overhaul Russia’s political system and enshrine conservative values in the country’s basic law.

Such ridiculous comments below. Pretending they know or understand something about geopolitics. Leave Russia alone.
The words "or else" were used a lot before the voting started 🙂
Look what happens to people who are against new constitution https://youtu.be/ugdToMGnzhQ
Russian people don’t have any choice. The referendum that is going to be on 22 April, will be 100 faked by our government. Our people will become fully helpless. It’s a true totalitarianism 🙁
Pathetic Country.
As Putin has definitely made a lot of domestic enemies, he is afraid of the fact that if he is no longer in power, the new guy will have his head on the plate. That is why he wants to be king for life.
Putin is a dictator now, and trump wants to be one too, so, we will have to keep an eye on guy to make sure he gets defeated in November!
Wow
If I was Russian, I'd be very worried.
Russia is now officially under a dictatorship.
God not want US to plan to kill Putin in secret,,let he feel powerful because God will permit happen a very bad civil war im Russia in future that could split the nation in two like North and South Korea did , these guys are feelings very powerful, have the most big nation in territory but if they not learn to give liberty and power to people and be rotating titles of the government, God will split the nation in two or more making they feel smaller… that is why God have to permit Putin even to feel a dictator and seat and eat with them and get feelings of them, is a plan of God to split the nation… after they split the nation God will give them feelings oo feel proud of become other nation too
When you're through doing that there, come to America and do the same thing here.
This is just like the un security consel, no one can agree on anything
Russia a corrupt oligarchs oppressive ( Putin ) regime ..Russia erupted in revolution but now can’t even removed this tyrant …people are stupid in Russia it’s pathetic and military is barbarically dedicated to Putin…..the impoverished poor and middle class suffer
Putin should watch his mouth if he doesn't want to dangle like Saddam Hussein.
After the Kirch Strait incident and the unlawful Crimean incursion; Putin can be tried by the International Criminal Court, for violations of the Law of the Sea, Violations of the Geneva Accords, and Human Rights Abuses.
