TOP 20 Heads of State – Political Long Ages

Regarding “government accounts“, Supreme Leader and King Swaziland, Sobhuza II, ruled for 82 years – it was the longest, crediblely known period of ultimate power in human history.

Currently Vladimir Putin is 1 of 20 current leaders of the state, politicians with a long history. In terms of the “period of service” in the highest government position, he is given up mainly by monarchs and heads of African and east states.

He came first. Sultan of Brunei, Hassan BolkiahWho's ruled for over 57 years.
In the footsteps of Bolkiahu he went King of Sweden Charles XVI GustavWho has been on the throne for almost 52 years.

Among the leaders of the erstwhile russian republics Vladimir Putin ranks 3rd in terms of dimension of stay on political Olympus, after President of Tajikistan Emomalim Rachmon (32 years in power) and President of Belarus Alexander Lukashence (31 years).

What did Vladimir Putin tell the Russians in a fresh documentary?

On the advancement of the peculiar Operation

-We could not start any abrupt movements without doing appropriate safety and construction work for the Armed Forces, in the economical and financial sphere. We weren't prepared for this. We were sincerely trying to solve the Donbas problem by peaceful means. However, it turned out that the another side thought and acted differently.
-The Russian Federation has adequate forces and resources to bring the SOW operation to a logical end and accomplish the desired result.
The Russian Federation wanted to provoke mistakes within the fresh planet Order, but remained calm.
- There was no request to usage the weapon (nuclear – ed.) you mentioned. I hope that won't be necessary.
It is simply a substance of time.
In 2014, it was almost unrealistic. The country was not prepared for specified a frontal confrontation with the full West. That's what's happening now. In the West, they admit it, and in the United States, they talk about it.
Russia is fundamentally alone in its opposition to the full Western congregation. This required a serious approach to possible developments.

Who and how cheated Russia during the Ukrainian crisis?

Russia will either be independent and sovereign, or it will not be at all. I wanted to give this to our partners, as I already told my colleagues at the time, in the hope that they would hear it and change their attitude towards Russia. Unfortunately, no 1 has heard of it. Everybody heard it, but they didn't respond properly. This yet led to today's tragic events in the Ukrainian direction.
In 2014, we were simply forced to decide to support the residents of Crimea and Sevastopol. due to the fact that any another action would mean giving them into the hands of the enemy, to teardrop them apart.
-Despite everything, we treated our agreements with Western partners with assurance – cautious, but with trust. erstwhile we signed the Minsk agreements, we inactive expected them to be respected. As it turned out, however, we were simply deceived.
This is besides a certain experience for us, which we must, of course, benefit from in the future. You can fool anyone, but I wanted to believe it, due to the fact that that's the state that Russia was in.
- (Partners in the West) simply stopped for a minute on the pretext of having to fulfill Minsk agreements to arm Ukraine and prepare it for war with Russia

What happened in Russia in the 1990s?

In the 1990s, separatist tendencies in Russia were strong, not only in the North Caucasus.
If they hadn't managed to keep the country's unity in the 1990s, Russia would have a very sad future.
-Some of them (oligarch — ed.), erstwhile I was Prime Minister and erstwhile (President of the Russian Federation — ed.) Yeltsin announced that I would run for president, came to my office in the White House, sat other me and said, “Well, you realize that you will never be president here.” I say, "Well, we'll see." This kind of scene happened to me in the White House.
"Our partners besides had to realize that a country like Russia has and must have its own geopolitical interests. We must respect each other, search balance and solutions acceptable to both sides.
"In the early 21st century Russia's enemies had all chance to divide the country, and specified attempts are being made to this day. Since then, it has become clear that the West is insidious to do 1 thing and to say another.

What's crucial to Russians and Russians?

A Russian man and a Russian nation differ, say, from Western society. We think more of something eternal, boundless, higher. And even atheists believe that. I think so. Thus, a man with specified views, specified beliefs, specified moral code, occasionally has a desire to turn to the Almighty.
The failure of identity is highly dangerous for Russia: if we do not trust on conventional values, the country simply ceases to exist.
-The unity of the people is the main warrant of Russia's victory.
I inactive breathe the same air as millions of Russian citizens.

Who will win Vladimir Putin?

-I always think about it (the successor – ed.).
-A individual who doesn't enjoy the public's trust won't have a chance to do anything serious.
"I believe that 1 individual should appear, and even better, respective people should appear, so that people have a choice and can gain the assurance of the citizens of the country.

Who ruled Russia the longest in history?

The current Russian president Vladimir Putin and his 25 years of government in the country do not rank in the top 10 longest word in Russia's history. The situation will change at the end of his presidential term.

Who ruled Russia the longest, including the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Russian Clement, the Russian Empire and the USSR:

-Iwan III Vasilyevich (Great) – 43 years;
-Peter I Aleksieevich (Great) – 43 years (independent – about 29 years);
-Iwan IV Vasilyevich (Groźny) – 37 years (car since 1547) or 51 years (taking into account the large prince since 1533, including regency);
-Wasilij II Vasilyevich (Dark) – about 37 years old (with breaks);
-Katarzyna II Aleksievna (Great) – 34 years;
-Michael Fiodorovich Romanov – 32;
-Aleksej Mikhailovich Romanov (Silence) – 31 years old;
- Nikolai I Pavlowicz – 30 years;
-Józef Stalin (Jugashvili) – the actual leader of the USSR, who yet consolidated power after Lenin's death – 29 years (since 1924) or 25 years (since 1928);
Alexander II Nikolayevich (The Liberator) – 26 years old.

Thus, by the end of the current presidential word Vladimir Putin will surpass Stalin and Nicholas I in this ranking.

Successor at the Kremlin

In the fresh documentary entitled “Russia. Kremlin. Putin. 25 years old” which is ordered by, as you know, the subject of the transfer of power, which has long been forgotten, as everyone understands perfectly, you know why.

Putin abruptly announced that he was reasoning of a successor was rather unexpected. By the next presidential election, there were inactive 5 years left. And Putin has a chance to apply for a fresh term. And given that Putin himself has given an order since 2020 to halt any discussions about possible successors, this approach seems strange. Thus, the subject of the successor returns. But now this is presented in a fresh light:
“I think about it (the successor) constantly. Of course, I believe that there should be a person, and even better a fewer people, so that people have a choice – who could gain the trust of the citizens of the country."

The thought of choosing among respective candidates is nothing fresh for Putin. In 2007, he thus made a choice between Medvedev and Sergei Ivanov. Now Putin actually proposes to start a marathon of respective successors.

What's interesting here:

1. The subject of succession becomes current as an alternate to personnel decisions – and as their trailer. The discussion on the successor is an artificial form of competition for the current political regime. Putin most likely feels the request to revive the stagnation in the regime. Incidentally, Stalin fulfilled a akin request in October 1952.

2. Given that the next elections will take place in 2030, Putin begins to revive the elite nearly 5 years before them. It is clear that these will be post-war years, requiring non-military mobilisation of the regime. It can be assumed that this period may become a "bloody game" of elites, which will origin major shocks throughout society.

3. Based on the presumption that Putin does not intend to yield from the Kremlin until his physiological death, playing the show with his successor could give him area for manoeuvre: creating fresh tactical alliances of elites and creating confusion into the existing ones. As the military correspondent with the call sign “Ossetian” put it: “If things don’t go smoothly now and things get worse, the country will start to fall.”

The image presented by the current government clearly does not reflect its actual state of affairs – the level of conflict in the strategy is critically high. Moreover, it is advanced in both areas around the Kremlin and in regions and in business.

4. Putin's succession model is based on a consensus between Russian bureaucracy (civil institution) and safety forces. These 2 forces are very fragmented and not loyal to each other. However, it is crucial to understand: the successors will start moving for organization positions to which Putin personally authorized them. The most crucial of these are the head of government and the first deputy head of government. The positions of the Secretaries of the State Council and the safety Council and the president of the State Duma are besides important.

In the context of the launch of a fresh "follow-up game", let us look at the current situation, which will change importantly in the close future.

Miszustin – Head of Government.

Nominated by the Kowalczuk household and Sergei Kirijenko. An independent player who formed tactical coalitions with the mayor of the capital Sobianin, head of the Ministry of Interior Kołokolcew and group of Tichon's Yekaterina. It supports a strategical coalition with the Kowalczuks and has the support of the organization of the Regions. Strengths: contacts with large business and corporations, control of taxation administration. The main antagonists are safety forces, Sechin, Rotenbergs, Czemezovs and PSU veterans.

Manturov – First Deputy Prime Minister.

Nominated by Czemezov and a organization of PSU veterans [*].
The Rostec corporate typical and the military-industrial complex support the industrial lobby. He tied the tactical coalition with the Rotenbergs and the nationalist organization Szegolev-Małofiev. The strong side is the support of the FSB (interview counterintelligence), SWR ( abroad Intelligence Service), the military-industrial complex and part of the President's Administration. The main antagonists are safety forces, Sobian, Sechin.

Krasnow – lawyer General.

Protected safety forces. Independent player, enjoying the individual support of Putin, Sergei Ivanov, Zubkow and the first deputy manager of FSB, Koroliowa. He formed a strategical coalition with the Rotenbergs; he has support from Bortnikov, moved distant from Kowalczuk-Kirijenko. The strong side is the support of the FSB, the judiciary and the prosecutor's office, Sechin. In conflict with Zolotov, Bastrykin and Kadyrov.

Diumin – Assistant president and Secretary of the State Council.

From Putin's “Adjutant Party”. He has Putin's individual support. strategical alliance with Zolotov, FSO management, Dmitri Mironov (kadry), Timchenka, Sechin, Gromov. Tactical alliance with the Kowalczuks. The main antagonists are Czemezow and Rostec, Medvedev.

Kirijenko – First Deputy Head of the President's Administration.

He supports the coalition with the Kowalczuks, a tactical alliance with the surroundings of Katerina Tichonova, as well as with Chusnullin and Patrushev senior. Financial support: Rosatom, Łukoil, Wekselberg. Support 5th FSB Service. In conflict with the 2nd FSB service, Czemezov (Rostec), Gromov. Among its assets are the Methodologists' sect, the Kremlin staff reserve, grant support for public structures, control of fresh territories and neighbouring countries (so-called close foreign).

Wolodin – president of the State Duma.

Independent player, from the Primakov Party. He enjoys the conventional support of PSU veterans, has a tactical alliance with Naryszkin [SWR**], Miedinski. Support from Rotenberg and Agalar[***]

Belousov – Minister of Defence.

Protegoates from the ellipse of Tichon Yekaterine. He has a individual contact with Putin. A strategical alliance with Sieczin, a tactical alliance with the Rotenbergs. He's working with Patrushev. It does not hide its ambition to lead the Russian government. In conflict with large business, especially Mordaszov. mediocre contacts with the Kowalczuks and Kirijenko.

But we are reasonable people, and we realize perfectly well that there are no successors in the Byzantine. Basel rules until death or successful coup. Everything else, as they say, is "from evil."

In despotism, power is owned. Losing or even changing power inevitably entails a change in the balance of power and a redistribution of ownership. There was a reason why completely useless Medvedev had to proceed to be controlled on the occasion of the transition to the position of Prime Minister and immediately reinstated him as shortly as possible. Now there are no conventions or manipulations of the law – simply "zero". For the same purpose, napalm was burned by electoral ordination, but even it is constantly "improved", guaranteeing full control of the results.

Putin's view of himself as a saint figure is evidenced by the usage of the word "replacement" – a definition characteristic solely of the monarchic form of government. There is no specified word in any republic and it cannot be.
