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 continued presidency through December 31, 2026, aligns with trader consensus at 88.5 percent “No” because constitutional amendments enacted in 2020 reset term limits, enabling service until at least 2036 following his 2024 reelection. He maintains firm control over security services, the legislature, and regional governors, with no verified elite defections or institutional challenges reported in recent months. Public appearances, including the May 2026 Victory Day parade and strategic planning sessions outlining 2026 national priorities, reinforce perceptions of stability despite isolated speculation about health or economic pressures. Approval ratings remain elevated in domestic polls, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has not produced any measurable internal momentum for leadership change. Scheduled events through late 2026 offer limited windows for disruption absent sudden, unforeseen developments.
