$1:

Russia's prime minister and its entire government resigned Wednesday as part of sweeping constitutional changes that could see President Vladimir Putin extend his hold on power.

I wonder if they resigned or if they were resigned while being given a one way ticket to the KGB's favorite holiday resort............................. Kolyma Siberia.

Just like they use to call Joseph Stalin "The Boss", they call Vladimir Putin "The Tsar".

He did exactly the same thing when he was Prime Minister; he transferred powers to the President, because he was approaching his term limit as PM. Now he's approaching his term limit as President, and wants to create a new role in order to stay in power.
