Russia foils 'Chechen plot' to kill PM Putin
Russian and Ukrainian secret services have foiled a plot to assassinate Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, state television in Russia reported on Monday.
The pro-Kremlin Channel One station broadcast footage purporting to show the plotters at work.
It said they planned to travel to Moscow to carry out the assassination after next month's presidential election.
The report said Ukrainian special services arrested two men -- one Russian and one Kazakh national --in the city of Odessa.
Putin is Handpicking The Future Leaders of Russia (HBO)
Russian President Vladmir Putin has been busy tightening his already strong grip on the country, which heads to the polls to vote for its next president on Sunday.
While the outcome of the election isn't really in doubt, Putin is ensuring that his influence extends well beyond the new six-year term he'll inevitably win. He's fired a record number of elected regional governors and replaced them with younger supporters that could stay in office even after he leaves.
Putin replaced a staggering 35 percent of the country's governors between 2016 and 2017. That's a big deal for modern Russia, which is a federation of 85 states, each with its own laws and customs, overseen by the regional governor. They appoint officials, control budgets, and even have the power to pardon criminals.

Russia Votes: Putin expected to win another six-year term
On Sunday, Russians go to the polls to elect a new president. The election will almost certainly hand Vladimir Putin a fourth term in the Kremlin.... in what many of his critics see as a sham. There are seven other officially sanctioned candidates, but one prominent opposition figure has been banned from running. Simon McGregor-Wood reports from Moscow.

Volunteer grannies assisting struggling families in Russia
(23 Nov 2019) LEAD IN:
Families in Russia are benefitting from a programme which trains elderly ladies to look after children of mothers in need.
The scheme of paring 'grannies' with families appears to be working well in Vladimir, east of Moscow, and can be beneficial to both sides.
STORY-LINE:
Five-year-old Ksyusha and seven-year-old Sasha Sabitovs play with their 'granny' at a playground in Vladimir, Russia.
67-year-old Alexandra Arkhipova is no conventional granny - she's not a blood relative and her role is part-time.
Known as 'Granny Sasha,' she visits the family a few times a week when Sasha and Ksyusha's mother Irina needs help with household chores and childcare.
It's part of a project underway in the city called 'Granny-for-an-hour.'
For Alexandra, it's a welcome opportunity to relive her days as a mother and grandmother.
My grandchildren have grown up. I like to interact with babies. I really like this family. The kids are energetic and well-behaved, she says.
The kids' mum Irina Sabitova is a single mother and as well as Ksyusha and Sasha, has three other children.
She lives on her own after her husband left the family, and her father died. Her situation was made more difficult by the fact that Sasha has Down's Syndrome.
She really makes (our) household chores easier and helps (a lot) in the family because Granny Sasha helps us with children, accompanying (them and organising) activities, says Irina.
Alexandra takes on a whole host of tasks from bringing the children to school, to teaching them music and art.
Volunteering grannies such as Alexandra get taught skills in exchange for their time, such as foreign languages and IT.
Irina is teaching Alexandra how to use a computer, making things such as booking a doctors appointment a lot easier.
The 'Granny-for-an-hour' project was started in Vladimir three years ago.
The city is located around 200 kilometres (124 miles) east of Moscow and lacks professionals such as babysitters and housekeepers as many natives leave for higher paying work in the capital.
Yelena Chentsova, the director of a government social welfare centre that started the project, says the volunteers need very specific training to be allowed to work with a family.
In a family with a child, a person needs to be prepared. Psychologists also work with our grannies, teaching them about the specifics of child psychology, she says.
Alexandra says spending time with Ksyusha and Sasha not only keeps her active, but contributes to her emotional wellbeing.
We need to be active later in life, to be needed by someone, you know, to realise our opportunities and energy.

Mothers' fury: The cost of challenging Putin - BBC News
Women in Russia have taken to the streets in support of the political activist and single mother Anastasia Shevchenko, whose daughter died in January while she was under house arrest.
She is the first person to face criminal prosecution under a law on 'undesirable' foreign organisations, and faces up to six years in prison if found guilty.
Ms Shevchenko says the Open Russia movement that she belongs to has no link with the group Open Russia UK, which was banned in Russia in 2017 and classed as 'undesirable'.

Putin spells out Russia policy in yearly briefing
Russian President Vladimir Putin took questions about Russia's foreign policy at his annual year-end news conference in Moscow on Friday. The highlights included Russia's ties with the West, the diplomatic deadlock over Ukraine, the situation in Syria and Moscow's improving ties with Turkey. Putin described the assassination of the Russian ambassador to Turkey as an attempt to strain Russia-Turkey relations, but insisted it would not damage ties between the two countries. On the much anticipated turning point of Russia-US ties under a new US president, Putin did little to hide his fondness for Donald Trump and called for constructive relations with Washington. Listen to what experts had to say about Putin's media briefing with Cui Hongjian from the China Institute of International Studies; Yury Tavrovsky from the Russian People's Friendship University; and Vitaly Kozyrev from Endicott College.

Vladimir Putin's Rise to Power | NowThis World
From Soviet spy to the highest elected office in Russia, Vladimir Putin has now served as President of Russia for 14 years — and by all accounts he’s about to make that 20.
» Subscribe to NowThis World:
» Watch the Previous Episode:
During Vladimir Putin’s time in power, he’s cracked down on political opposition, annexed parts of Ukraine, and overseen Russia’s increased involvement in global affairs.
So what can we look forward to in Vladimir Putin’s likely fourth term?
We should be on the lookout for Vladimir Putin’s goal of broadening Russian influence around the world – while news of Russian interference in the U.S. elections has dominated American media, experts say we should pay attention to what Russia is doing politically in Venezuela and Libya, as well as the Middle East and Europe. Vladimir Putin still wants Russia to rival the U.S. as a superpower, and he’s stepping in where the Trump administration is stepping out. This is sure to have an significant impact on the world.
BUT how did someone once considered to be too impulsive to be a KGB officer rise through the ranks to become one of Russia’s most consequential leaders in modern history?
Join Versha as she takes a closer look at Vladimir Putin’s rise to power and what his ambitions are for Russia.
