So, what if, current president of Russia Vladimir V. Putin decided in 2008 that he will, after his second term as president expired, change the Constitution of Russia and turn Russia into a Empire again? ( Of course- a parliamentary monarchy of British type- but without reserve powers ).

Let's say that he becomes the PM and invites somebody of Romanov's back. ( Who? Maria Vladimirovna or Dmitri Romanov? ) I presume Maria Vladimirovna- bacause she is recognised as Heir of Romanovs by Russian Orthodox Church, is younger and has issue.

He had supermajority in both the Duma and Federal Council, so I think that he technically could pull this. A major reason why to do that is because as a Prime Minister he could remain in power as long as he has the majority in Duma.

What do you think? Could he do that- ASB-territory or not? And if he has done that- what would be the consequences?
