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.

    There will be an epidemic of falls through windows. It will affect oligarchs and will spare the population. There is a cure: leaving the country after having relinquished all your money to the government.

    Oligarchs problem solved.

      Sounds like how Stalin got his start. “If I just kill this small group of bad people things will be better.”

      Oh no, the people who replaced them are corrupt too. Ok, this next wave of executions will surely send the right message.

        “The murdering will continue until corruption decreases”

        I think it’s a good plan. I either stop corruption or I run out of people (which technically will stop corruption too).
