Koschei the Deathless is stated as an immortal being, fearing nothing but death. He hides part of his soul buried deep under an oak tree, gaining immortality. In similar fashion, President Vladimir Putin, age 72, has drafted a constitutional amendment which allows his presidency to go on until 2036. He has already been in this seat in 1999, moved to prime minister from 2008 to 2012, then once again is president now.
