Czar Putin
The last official czar of Russia was Czar Nicholas II. It's time for Putin to finalize the collapse of the Soviet Union by appointing himself as czar and abolishing the presidency. The presidency and corresponding elections are a sham, so he is effectively czar anyway. There is nostalgia for that historical era and there would be an element of honesty with this move.
