I expect most of you will have heard about this because it's been flying around for a couple of weeks, and everyone else won't be surprised, but...

Apparently 4 years isn't good enough; the Kremlin's going for six-year stints now.

Analysts suggested that the most obvious beneficiaries of the move would be Medvedev or Putin, now the prime minister, who could return as president in 2012 - and then extend his stint in power to 2024. Russia's present ruling team would remain in power indefinitely, they added.
