Russians Campaign to Crown President as ‘Czar Putin’


(TheTrumpet) - A campaign is underway in Russia to coronate Russian President Vladimir Putin as the nation’s czar, according to a September 9 report by Ukrainian daily, Eizvestia.com.

The Moscow-based movement called “For the Coronation of the Russian President” is collecting signatures for its petition both online and at its offices across Russia.

The organization’s stated mission is to “re-institute a monarchy in Russia and to appoint Vladimir Putin to the position of czar” of the nation. “We believe Putin has done so much for Russia and deserves to govern Russia until the end of his days, and then hand power over by inheritance to one of his sons or daughters.”

The statement continues: “We invite all concerned people to contribute to the consolidation of the outstanding achievements in the economy that have occurred in recent years in Russia, thanks to the wise leadership of our great chief and leader Vladimir Putin.”

Russia was ruled by monarchs from the mid-ninth century until 1917 when Emperor of all Russia Nicholas II abdicated. Soon after, Nicholas and his family were executed as part of the Russian Revolution that destroyed the czarist autocracy and brought about the creation of the Soviet Union. Read more
