You have all the powers that Putin currently does. Everyone completely loyal to Putin is now loyal to you. Enemies of Putin are enemies of you. Putin no longer exists, and there has been a clean and absolute transfer of power to you. The economic, military, social and political situations are the same as they now are. You are not inhabiting Putin’s body, you are just you. You’re magically transferred to the Kremlin. The world at large doesn’t know your past life, to them you have magically appeared as the new ruler. To everyone who knew you before, you just vanished.

Edit: no one knows your past life YET. They’ll quickly figure it out. You will not lose any support based on your actions in your past life.

    It’s like running away from an octopus. You don’t have to be faster than the octopus, you just have to be faster than the guy standing next to you.

      For an octopus you would have to be faster than 8 other people near you

        I think it says a lot about the people on the interwebs that we started out talking about a ménage à trois and veered into racing against killer octopuses.

        And yes, it’s octopuses, not ‘octopi’

      I don’t think you’d have to worry about running away from an octopus at all…
