Okay, so today is Vladimir Vladimirovich's fourth (and final? He'll be 66 in October) election to the presidency.
While it would be better for Russia and the world if he would lose, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict he gets re-elected.
So, "viva job security," I guess, but I wish it were not so.

Boris Bazhanov. Memories of Stalin's Former Secretary Борис Бажанов. Воспоминания бывшего секретаря Сталина, (Париж: Третья Волна, 1980)Stalin said:“я считаю, что совершенно неважно, кто и как будет в партии голосовать; но вот что чрезвычайно важно, это - кто и как будет считать голоса.”
I believe that it does not matter who gets to vote in the party and how; but what is extremely important, is who gets to count the votes and how."
