Some of my personal favourite amendments proposed earlier this year and approved by popular vote on 1 July 2020:

  • The Russian Constitution should take precedence over international law;
  • Persons who hold "important positions for ensuring the country's security" (President, Ministers, judges, heads of regions) should not have foreign citizenship or residence permit in other countries, either at the time of their work in office or, in the case of the President, at any time before;
  • A presidential candidate must live in Russia for at least 25 years (currently 10 years) and may not have ever in their life held foreign citizenship or residency (with no possibility of renouncing foreign citizenship to become eligible to be president);
  • The Federation Council (the upper house of Parliament) will be able to propose that the President dismiss Federal judges; in some cases, the Federation Council, on the proposal of the President, will have the right to remove judges of the Constitutional and Supreme courts;
  • The minimum wage cannot be lower than the subsistence minimum;
  • Faith in one God;
  • Defining marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman.

Now there's a president that doesn't need a thug life meme.

Another prominent Putin opponent in hospital due to suspected poisoning. This ceased to be a surprise a long time ago.

The list of Putin’s enemies who’ve been killed is longer than the list of Clinton enemies who’ve been Arkancided.
