Vladimir Putin is in a hurry to rewrite
the Russian Constitution he's proposed
changes he says will make Russia
stronger of Christian blue precious
giving the rest but his critics fear
Putin's real aim is to hold on to power
if not as president than in some other
role
how would Russians view that as a good
thing then you don't agree with that
original but Chicago is one signal
stoppable I'm pretty concerned near me
bright efnet new cook was of noises a
constitutional ethnic boom aria I've
traveled to the Urals rustbelt Russia to
find out whether Putin forever would be
welcome here
or do people see Russian democracy going
up in smoke
so this is magnitogorsk it's about a
thousand miles east of the Russian
capital but in fact it feels to the
world away from Moscow because this is
Russia's industrial heartland
[Music]
after 20 years of
radomir Putin in charge here some
Russians can't imagine anyone else
running their country at the email
terrible year
I wasn't sure my yuck garage Phoenicia
is raising four of her grandchildren in
her tiny flat but as toughest things are
she remains upbeat about her life and
about the president it's my geography my
team with cockney pondrá it's the worst
oh it's a one use icky is night only by
yacht in sure a political talk show
instrument panel more shows a mutiny of
so I used to put included nada
top rock idiots we removed over 80 boy
granny Erina its ostrich Olivia croc we
sure don't eat me
duh but Sheikh Achilles bone suggestible
and president I'm very good adviser on
Dawson pequeños resilience and when you
did you yeah
magnitogorsk people don't sit at home
all day thinking about gremlins and
constitutions and Russian politics they
have other interests like ice hockey
which is the most popular sport here at
the factory as its own ice hockey team
called metal hook which is an action
tonight and it's a good opportunity to
our spectatorship what they think about
events in Moscow and you still
understand sir calm down calmly but I've
eaten epizootic of Australia gusto at
the glare the blogger is here they do
distressed look pirate purple sister oh
man yeah it is a Pecha great was superb
ammonia World Figure to lose little
ostomy blast exact slave
[Applause]
well have left Magnitogorsk and I'm on
my way to another part of the Ural
Mountains to Yekaterinburg because I
heard there's going to be a protest
there against president Putin's
constitutional changes now this will be
the first protest against the amendments
in a major Russian city so it's going to
be really interesting to see how large
it is
hezonia new constitution abbu Miya
Kaduri any pressure on boy
prolific you know for a city of 1.4
million people it's not exactly a big
turner so there's a man over here is
holding a sign which says it's not the
constitution we need a change it's the
president putin it's time to leave this
sign says no to the constitutional coup
set kakuida with it with Smosh tip of
lightest NASA to our TVs
receivers if these protesters are right
if the atom in putin's aim is to hold on
to power as long as he wants then I
think judging by the numbers here today
it will be very difficult to prevent
that in fact I think that if the plan is
Putin forever
many Russians will accept that either
because they see no alternative to him
or because they feel powerless to change
the situation
you
